It is now possible for the owner of squad combat league teams to mark their team as 'planning to disband'

The effect of this is that they will automatically forfeit all remaining combats in the current season, and will achieve 0 points in the league overall, and will therefore be relegated.

Although their team will continue the following season, if appropriate, in their new (lower) division, it will default to forfeiting those combats too.

Once a team is 'planning to disband', it cannot be changed until the off-season.

excellent first step!

how about an additional mechanic to default a team to this status if it doesn't participate at all for some certain amount of time or number of consecutive events?

Thanks Sam :)

Totally agree with Dodger, some teams are so inactive they won't do anything affirmative like select a disband option, so there needs to be a passive mechanism for getting rid of them.

How about all teams (except new SCL V teams) are automatically marked with this status at the start of the season, requiring their owner to actually do something?

default should be turned on at the end of the season, requiring team owners to turn it off

Sure, just make sure people are given proper notice as someone just might not read the forums...
It's their loss really, but it's good to remove the excuses aint it? ;)

Team owners get emails at the start of each season, so they could be warned in there?

E-mails sounds good, then they can only blame an overstuffed inbox  :cyclops:

I know. I was just pointing out how you deleted your post and made a new one instead of hitting the edit button, nothing appeared when I tried to quote it  :rolleyes:

+1

I think this is a great idea whether it is at start of new season or the end. Will be nice to clear out some of the teams that are not participating.

yes, agree with all this I do. Improve things greatly making clear what will happen come fight night it will.

I must say after a year back in the SCL, noticing which teams will and won't turn up becomes more obvious, so some of my initial frustration and panic over this point at start of last season has well passed. (Im a bit of a stress meister, not sure If any ones noticed, don't mention the war.)
