I remember reading somewhere that the last couple weeks of scouting count for next season's draft instead of the current season's. When does this cutoff occur? I am in a league with mostly bots and people who haven't been around long enough to scout much, so I am going full scouting to get as many good players as possible, but I want to scout more efficiently next year, as presumably I will be in a different league.

Once the draft list appears, that's when scouting goes to next season.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

Well, heck, that makes an awful lot of sense. Thanks for the clarification!

So do bot teams move down in the draft order? What if a owner team takes over for another team late in the season. Do they keep the same draft spot or move to the bottom?

On the same topic does a new team keep the scouting done by the previous owner?

no the bot promotion, have no effect on draft. So if you are "weaker" then a bot, he will make his random pick after yours.

Hope this answer your quetions, because i am not sure that this is the answer you want to hear.

no, but every team have 10-15 free pieces of information so that team who started late in the season could see at least a bit.

Both bots and new teams draft according to normal draft order. Bots just make their picks randomly - there is a good chance, they won't pick good players. Draft happens before promotions and relegations take place. Brand new teams don't inherit any scounting from the previous team but they do (as any other team*) get some free additional scouting reports.

*Whether they got the same amount of additional info as normal teams with the same amount of scouting reports they paid for, wasn't discussed before (as much as I can tell) , so we can assume the amount is the same probably.

Ok, thank you for the information.

I know this has been discussed before but how many weeks must an owner not "sign in" before he is kicked off and someone else or a Bot takes over his team? Thanks
