Empty Teams

agnosticreflex · 11-06-2018, 12:54 PM

There is a team in my current league with no active or reserve players and the games seem to be played by ghost players (j. unknown) who are terrible, which seems detrimental to other teams - for example, if you play a team like this a lot, you will get extra PP for performance against them, and if you are in a wild card fight with another team and you play this ghost team more often, you wil have an unfair advantage

So what is the official position on this? Are teams allowed to not have any active players, or less than 25 on their 25 man roster?

Is it the Chicago Monsters?

There was a team in my league with an invalid lineup. Only like 3 or 4 of their lineup spots were filled in. This player did have players on active and reserve rosters.

They were solidly in last place though. It could potentially become an issue that the lowest level league becomes flooded with these teams.

Known issue. These are teams that did not open their Starter Packs yet, they were promoted accidentally. This will not happen again
