relegation too fast and not fair

I don't understand why the relegation happens so fast. I was in C2 and was relegated to C3. Ok, but then I only played 5 games in the C3 league and had a score of -1.5. Now again I'm relegated to D1. All those 5 opponents were from C1 or C2, but one was just relegated to D1 (and that one I lost) So 4 out of 5 opponents were in a higher league than me, so it's normal that my score is somewhat negative. But is this enough to be relegated? And why so fast?

I think this is not fair and not in balance with the score you have to get to promote. Shouldn't there be a minimum of matches, like 10 before you can relegate?

Can gameknot do something about this?

This way it loses its value

I just saw that in 16 games I made 5 promotions-relegations:

relegation to D1
3 games later: promotion to C3
4 games later: promotion to C2
4 games later: relegation to C3
5 games later: relegation to D1

This way you never get the time to settle in a league and the arbitrary of a loosing or a winning streak influences the promotion/relegation too hard. I takes away the value of a promotion/relegation too! The promotion or relegation should only be made possible after a minimum of 10 games in one league.
