Perhaps someone "in the know" could explain to me why a team transfer to Unranked [U] is only possible from Academy [A]. I would think a one-way option should be offered from [L] and [R] to [U] also. It would be a nice way to keep those teams that have finished a user-run tournament in [L] or are no longer competing in [R] but continued to play for fun ... It would make [U] a lot more attractive I guess. Making the transfer one way only should be enough to keep it from beeing abused, wouldn't it ? There has been such an option once so technical it shouldn't be a problem. I never understood why Christer took it away. Perhaps he could explain it here ? ...

He probably forgot to put it back after the league division creation thing. I doubt many people have missed it much. Am I right?

(can't see a problem with it being reintroduced personaly)

U is not meant to be attractive.

It's like the fat girl used at clubs to make the other girls appear better looking.

Funny Smile ... but not very helpful ...

Perhaps I should send Christer a message and ask him directly ?

R: "Friendly" girl that gets along with pretty much everyone
F: High-maintenance, demands a lot of attention before you get the good stuff
L: Pickier. Tends to date friends of her ex's.
A: Barely Legal


But seriously folks,
Christer is the one to ask about transfer reasons/restrictions.

You can still transfer from [R].

Being able to transfer to [L] would be much more useful.

please, please, please, please, please. Crying or Very sad

No you can't. Do you see a "Transfer to Unranked" Button on your Ranked team pages ? I don't ... not anymore ...

The restrictions in divU are more strict than in divL where you may have non-LRB4 teams like stunty leeg teams or those now grandfathered pact teams.
The unranked division is strictly LRB4, although a more recreational variant than the ranked division.
Maybe there should be recreational unranked smacks. Especially the Rookie smacks could be done there, since they have no influence on CR anyway.

Does anyone else feel the U-L split is a failed experiment? It is difficult to get games in either division now that the pool of non-Ranked teams has been effectively cut in half. The split has also been very hard on tournaments series like the OCCS or Mully s CCC as there are no teams being trasferred in from R and getting L games to prepare or build for tournies is an exercise in futility.

Do we have some metrics on the 2 divisions? I would wager there are less games played in U and L combined than in old U. I don t see a good reason why we shouldn t recombine the divisions.

Then split them again into three divisions! Then combine and split into 4 divisions! Woohoo!

Well, it's the same as it ever was: Kalimar cannot transfer Plorg's ranked teams to unranked division.
