Team Switching Policy
Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2019 6:21 pm
Hey all,
So we’ve had a few requests to switch over the past few years, and it’s time we update our policy to reflect what our members want. We want the CSL to be a place where people want to come and be a part of the league, and more importantly, want to remain a part of the league, and this is an avenue to accomplish that.
It will not be easy to switch teams at all. The requirements are as follows:
1. GMs must be an active and long-standing member of the CSL community.
2. GMs must give excellent reasoning in their application, not limited to any particular facet such as basketball or personal or whatever, but it must be strong reasoning. “Because I want to” doesn’t cut it.
3. GMs may not switch unless their current team is in a spot where a new GM would want to take that team. No ditching a team that’s in shambles, there has to be appeal to the roster, or the future, etc.
4. GMs must be in good standing with the league. That means no missed voting (awards, all-star, etc) and no recent penalties (free agent/draft penalties, tanking, etc).
5. Switching will only take place in the time between the playoffs and the off-season. You may apply at any time, but decisions will not be made until the playoffs at the earliest.
6. The admins reserve the right to final say on all decisions. That means that even if you feel you meet all the criteria, we have final say.
7. GMs cannot switch multiple times, so be absolutely certain if you switch teams.
This does not change anything about the rules if you leave the league and want to come back. If you leave, you must sit out for one full season before returning to a different team, though you’ve are welcome to coming back to your own team, should it be vacant, at any time. No loopholes here.
Feel free to comment any questions or comments down below.
