How to Reduce an Even Number of Teams in BLS-2025

Steps to Reduce the Number of Teams by Reordering First

1. Reorder Teams:
   • Go to Utilities > Teams > Reorder Teams.
   • Change the order of the teams so that the two teams being removed are placed in the last positions.
   • Replace the teams being removed with the last remaining team numbers.
     • Example: In a 10-team league where Teams 3 and 4are dropping:
       • Move Team 9 up to Team 3's spot and move Team 3 down to Team 9.
       • Move Team 10 up to Team 4's spot and move Team 4 down to Team 10.
     • This step helps minimize the number of teams that need to change their team order.
   • Click the green check mark to save your changes.
2. Remove Teams:
   • Go to Utilities > Teams > Remove Teams.
   • Under Indicate Teams to Remove:
     • Select the last team and click Delete Team.
     • Select the next to last team and click Delete Team.
   • Click the Do It! button.
3. Confirmation Dialog:
   • A confirmation dialog box will appear, giving you a chance to abort if necessary.
   • Proceed if you are certain.
4. Information Dialogs:
