When a team doesn't have enough players for a game, the other team is given a walkover win with a 25-0 score for the standings. The game engine then goes ahead and plays a game, with "lucky fans" coming down from the stands if necessary to fill out the lineup. Lucky fans might only have played BB in gym class and pretty bad. But the game is played so that other team can minutes for training, and stats for the league leader ranking (which requires a minimum number of games).

Per the earlier posts in this thread, he sold all of his players and stopped logging in until a few days ago when I told him to log in to save his team.

i'd assume he still has a decent chunk of change.

From his transfer history:

Total Sales: $ 8 930 000
Total Purchases: $ 1 579 800
Transfer Balance: $ 7 350 200

Yeah he has money. He's a good friend and I'm trying to re-spark his interest in BB. We'll see...

I liked nickfox and his activeness on the forums as well but if he has no interest in coming back then it was a little wrong to have him log in just for the sake of keeping his team. He sold his whole team off which isn't fair to the other teams in his league since now every game he plays is a forfeit. Yes it is an automatic win but it really detracts from the enjoyment of the game as well.

its no different than any other lame duck manager. it also gives him a chance to drop down a level and to be in a competitive situation for his league next season

The fact that the level below him has no human players means he will be staying at this level.

??? He's in Division II, chief.

Not quite sure why you're calling me out for trying to get my friend back into the game. There's nothing illegal with what he did and nothing wrong with what I did.

My mistake for thinking he was in Division IV. I know he didn't break any rules but I just think its not for the best of the game to sell all your players and leave causing anyone who plays you, for the next month, to see a forfeited game. I don't want to argue about this so I'm not going to say anything more. This is just what I feel about it.
