why didn't you sign him up at the start of the season then when there was a 4 week period to sign up your team & players, enough to actually field a team?
it's not in those specific words but it's there, i will also say this the UK/EU leagues follow the guidelines of the american league rules but we have a few differences. The main reason i'm not letting you just grab anyone else is the fact that they could be a player who has already played for another team just they use a different gamertag & the fact that by not registering them you could just use an unlimited roster, when rules state 8, plus you've already tried to get ryan back on under a new gamertag full knowing he's permanently banned & he could easily change his tag again.
did you ever read this part at all? "Once the League begins, teams are not allowed to change their team name. Players that change their gamertags during a season must notify an admin to avoid confusion and possible rules violations. Once the season has begun, team captains must also notify an admin if they are adding new players to their team."
Also this part:
"The rule number one that you must have agreed to (or else you would not have signed up) when you signed up for the league states:
1. All participating teams must consist of at least 4 starting players and may include 4 alternates. Once you have signed up and the bracket is released there will be no changing."
that may be true but if you only register 3 starting player, whereas the rules state you must sign up at least 4 starting players, as well as players being registered to you team via grifball.com so as that they can play.
