How to Replace a BYE Team with an Active Team in BLS-2025 When BYE Was Previously an Active Team

If an active team dropped out during the season and was changed to a BYE team, but now a new team is coming in to replace the BYE team, follow these steps to properly handle the transition and remove the previous team’s statistics:

Steps to Replace a BYE Team with a New Active Team

  1. Add Temporary Teams:
    • In the week that the new team will start, go to Utilities > Teams > Add Teams.
    • Add 2 teams (even though the schedule reload answer may not matter, this is a temporary step).
  2. Reorder Teams:
    • Go to Utilities > Teams > Reorder Teams.
    • Move the last team to a position just below the old BYE team that will be removed.
    • Move the old BYE team to the bottom of the list.
    • Click Save to save the changes.
  3. Verify Team Rosters:
    • Go to Setup > Teams > Team Rosters.
    • Verify that the team number that used to be the BYE team is now the new empty team.
    • Verify that the last team in the list was the old BYE team.
  4. Remove Players from Old BYE Team:
    • Remove any players that are still listed on the old BYE team.
  5. Remove the Last Two Teams:
    • Go to Utilities > Teams > Remove Teams.
    • Remove the last two teams, which should include the old BYE team.
  6. Add Players to the New Team:
    • Go to Setup > Teams > Team Rosters.
    • Add the new players to the new team.
By following these steps, you can successfully replace a BYE team with a new active team while ensuring that the statistics from the previous team are properly removed, keeping your league records clean and accurate.
