coan.net: Correct, although there is no need for a check now as Pawns are removed from Teams automatically, BUT sure, once a Team is signed up, that is how they stay.

Hopefully, if Fencer gets time, while designing BK 3.0 ( 'Manatee' as i have named it, all good projects need a name ) there will be a system for substituting players or even just replacing them BEFORE any games are started. Maybe at the Tournaments waiting to be started stage it could check for Pawns and notify Team Captains or Bosses if any show up. I think also it should check to see that all players are active, say just last 2 weeks and also inform those involved.

Of course the ultimate is to be able to substitute players before any moves by that player have been made

Anyway, who likes 'Manatee'? ....... people think that the manatee is just a big, ugly creature, but actually the manatee is the most harmless and graceful of all the big animals....... i think that should define the next BrainKing
