This will be the final series that Homer will play in unless a new version is released. The top two engines will gain automatic promotion into Division 3 for the following series. The third placed engine will play a ten game promotion/relegation match against the bottom engine from Division 3. There will be no automatic relegation this time around, but the bottom engine will play a ten game promotion/relegation match against the third top engine from Division 5.
