As a Kent supporter, I'm more disappointed than you are. Finished second, yet not promoted. Can anyone explain why only one team is involved in relegation/promotion this year? I suspect [MENTION=36]Titanic[/MENTION] might be able to help.

Because the Big Brains at the ECB don't want 4 Day County Cricket...
Surrey were promoted last season.
Two relegated and one promoted for a first division with eight teams and a second division with ten.

Clearest answer so far. And is this so D1 teams play four day cricket, and D2 teams play three day cricket from hereon in?

From BBC website:
"From the 2017 season:
Specsavers County Championship*games will run throughout the summer and pause during blocks of limited-overs cricket. It will be played in two divisions - a top tier of eight and second division of ten - after one County has been promoted and two relegated this year. It will then revert to two-up, two-down. To ensure a focus on each format and create space in the domestic season, the competition will be reduced from 16 Championship rounds to 14. Each County will play seven home and seven away matches."
