How to Handle Dropping a Team, Making the League Uneven in BLS-2025

If a team drops out of the league, causing an uneven number of teams, you have two options to address this. Here are the two methods:

Method A: Continue with Points Left by the Dropped Team

  1. Remove Players from the Dropped Team:
    • Remove all players from the team that is dropping.
  2. Rename the Team to BYE:
    • Rename the dropped team to BYE.
    • This method keeps the points earned by the dropped team and continues the league with a BYE team placeholder.

Method B: Replace Dropped Team with a New BYE Team (Starting with Zero Wins/Losses)

  1. Go to the Week Prior to the Team Becoming a BYE:
    • Navigate to the week before the team is set to drop.
  2. Delete Future Weeks Data:
    • Click Utilities > League > Delete Future Weeks Data.
    • This will remove all scores and data for weeks beyond the current week, ensuring the old team does not appear in the future.
  3. Advance to the Next Week:
    • Advance to the next week of play.
  4. Remove the Dropped Team:
    • Go to Utilities > Teams > Remove Teams.
    • Select the team that will be dropping and click on the Delete Team button.
    • If only one team is marked for deletion, that team will be replaced with a BYE team.
  5. BYE Team Added:
    • The BYE team will replace the dropped team.
    • The BYE team will start with zero wins and losses.
These methods provide flexibility in handling a dropped team and allow you to either keep their points in the league or introduce a new BYE team with a fresh start.
