Hi Engin,

the top placed engine will gain automatic promotion into Division 1, but the second placed engine will need to win a playoff match against the second to bottom finisher from Division 1 (probably Jonny or Crafty).

Cheers,
Graham.

[Engin]

we are hope for that Tornado have many lucky

Hello Engin, I hope you are aware that Tornado is playing in TCEC Division 3 as well.
