Promotion and Relegation - Use Outside of Sports

Use Outside of Sports

In the World Cyber Games realm, Blizzard Entertainment's video game StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty uses a promotion and relegation system for its tournament structure.

From 1993 until 2003, the Eurovision Song Contest used various systems of relegation to reconcile the number of countries wishing to participate (approximately 30 at the time) with the number of performances allowed considering time constraints of a live television program. The addition of a semi-final in 2004 eliminated the need for relegation.
