Setting Up BYE, Vacant, or Ghost Teams in BLS-2025

If you need to set up a BYE, vacant, or ghost team in your league, follow these steps to configure it properly:

Steps to Set Up BYE, Vacant, or Ghost Teams

  1. Rename the Team as BYE:
    • Go to Weekly > Prepare > Team Rosters.
    • Rename the team to BYE.
  2. Configure League Rules for BYE Teams:
    • Go to Setup > League > Rules.
    • Click on the BYE tab and set up the league rules to specify how points are awarded when a team is opposing a BYE team.
  3. Do Not Enter Scores for a BYE Team:
    • Do not enter scores for a BYE team. Entering scores for a BYE team can lead to incorrect results for both the BYE team and the opposing team.
  4. Special Note for Automatic Scoring Systems:
    • You do not need to remove bowlers from a BYE team.
    • If your Automatic Scoring system requires that there be bowlers on a BYE team, simply add vacant players to the BYE team.
By following these steps, you can ensure that the BYE, vacant, or ghost team is properly configured, and that the league's scoring and points calculations are accurate and fair for all participating teams.
