Subject: Teams without managers

Could someone please remind me what happens, like in Div 1.04 with kinross, with a team if its manager has quit? For how long will they be fielding their original players?

They won't. Players remain until they retire, then are replaced by similar players that start up teams get. Retirement chance increases with Age. I think they need to be at least 33 aswell.



Went to find the news thing I remembered reading a while back.

"Walkover from Bot Team
As some leagues have many bot teams that produce walkovers in them, it makes for quite an uneventful week when human teams face them.

Starting this season bot teams will have their line-up and match orders set by using current order supplemented with new players if needed.
The default order is as follows:
- if there are players in the bot team, but previously not set in the match orders, they shall be moved into the orders.
- if a team doesnt have enough players to actually field a team then new players shall be generated for this team, to supplement squad, under the same rules as new teams being generated.

Additionally older players in bot teams will retire. How often will depend on age and value. In general if the player is 33 or older then it is possible they will be retired. A new player shall replace the retired player in each bot team as long as this player was actively playing in the team.

Both updates will be executed every Tuesday - until the season starts it will be executed every day for testing."


I think some of these should go into the rules, I will start a discussion in the Linguist forum.

Thanks! So I will need to keep up with kinross' good squad for some time...
