How to Consolidate Bowlers to Make Full Teams and Reduce the Number of Teams in BLS-2025

If your league has partial teams that need to be consolidated to create full teams, you can follow these steps to manage the consolidation and reduce the number of teams in the league:

Steps to Consolidate Bowlers and Reduce Teams

  1. Enter Scores for the Current Week:
    • Make sure all scores for the current week are entered.
    • Print the standing sheet after entering the scores.
  2. Advance to the Next Week:
    • Advance to the next week of play in BLS-2025.
  3. Remove Players from Partial Teams:
    • Go to Weekly > Prepare > Adjust Team Rosters.
    • Drop the players who will be moving to other teams from their current partial team.
  4. Re-Order the Teams:
    • Re-order the teams so that the team(s) being removed are positioned at the bottom of the list.
  5. Reduce the Number of Teams:
    • Go to Utilities > Teams > Reduce to reduce the number of teams in the league.
    • The program will adjust the lane schedule accordingly to reflect the new number of teams.
  6. Add Players to New Teams:
    • Go back to Adjust Team Rosters.
    • Add the players you moved earlier to their new team using the Add button or by entering their ID#.
  7. Print Recaps:
    • Print the recaps to reflect the updated teams and rosters.
  8. Process the League as Normal:
    • After the teams bowl, process the league as usual.
These steps allow you to consolidate partial teams and reduce the number of teams effectively, ensuring all bowlers are part of full teams and the schedule is adjusted to accommodate the changes.
