'Redraft after Major Tournament exit' rules change
Please note that we are changing the rules concerning exiting Major Tournaments and Redrafting.
Until now, exiting a Major Qualifier put a team into end-of-season state and exiting a Major main event forced immediate redrafting, regardless of how many games the team had played in their season.
From now on, teams exiting a Major (qualifier or main) will only have to redraft when they hit or exceed the 15 games of their season.
So in essence, you will always have to redraft after 15 games, unless you are in a tournament. Note that you do NOT redraft after winning a Major qualifier!
Please understand that to ensure fairness between coaches, all end-of-season/redrafting that resulted from past Majors will stand and cannot be retroactively revoked.

Good rule

The rule is good, but a 15-game Season is too long and 1350k Re-Draft budget is too much.

Oh interesting. Probably less confusing.

Good ruling.
"same" team will be able to enter several tournaments.
Time to build some rivalries )

Excuse the dimness . I find the redrafting generally confusing
I have a team that is listed as playing 11 games ( S1 G11 ) that entered the GLT ( Forlorn ) and was knocked out after playing 3 games in GLT qualifier
Readying the team I get the End of season status , though not having played 15 games .
I have entered this team in the Crown of Sand in this state . Is this ok ?

Yes, Dynamix, the team is fine and will be in the CoS like that.

Cool. This is huge, for me, at least.
However, why would Dynamix's team be in End of Season state, if he does not need to redraft with only 14 games played?

Urrghs, it is in my last sentence. Dynamix' team was pushed into end-of-season after a tournament exit in the past, when the rules had it like that. We are now changing it for the future, but not for the past. If it happened like that again in the future, the team would go to ready state.

Thx...somehow I missed that.
Again, this is really a huge improvement for me. Recent Majors I just was not interested to join, as I am too much of a pixel hugger to let them go after 9 games into the season ;).
See you on pitch Rawlf; I heard that Krach und Bumm are looking for a beating up, hehe.

to be honest ... I don't understand the whole point of the redraft rule in the first place and after the tournament was really dumb.
1) Lose round one match in a tournament.
2) Be force to fire unskilled new players.
3) Hire new unskilled new players.
What a headache!
