Should an Open League squad that forfeits their games be ranked # 8, 9, or 10?

It may make sense to seed the bottom 3 Open higher than the bottom 3 Novice teams, but only if they actually play.

I vote for teams that forfeit games to be seeded last, meaning 16 in the C bracket.

welp, sorry your vote doesnt count. besides it doesnt make sense punishing the #1 C team by making them play a team from A/B in the opening round.

Stop crying, that is a lame question.

the top C teams shouldn`t have to play the A teams that come down, as much as you guys think you are ballers its not going to be a treat for anyone to get those A squads in the playoffs

As a C-leaguer i think its a great idea. A lot of teams in the C-league feel they can hang with the open league teams, this is a way to find out. If one of the bottom 3 teams ends up winning it all then obviously the C-leaguers are not ready for the jump.

They`re not A teams, they are below average B teams.

The way it`s set up is the #1 C team will play the winner of the 8/9 game, which will both be B teams. The #2 C team will get the winner of the 7/10 matchup, which is a B team vs. a C team.

Obviously, assuming the #1 and 2 C teams aren`t upset in the first round.

if you get platinum you`ll be straight cause they won`t show up

also i dont think liger could score on a C team - they are worse than any C team

word on the Street....Liger has a whole team of ringers for the playoffs a few former D1`s might wanna watchout come playoffs

I heard the same thing, probably fictional but who knows..It would be like the demon`s wen they fielded a squad

That would blow if it were true.

But the Demons didn`t show for playoff games ;)

don`t do anything, hot shot dudes show up that don`t even know the rules the normal team is disrupted and they get smoked

you`re allowed to add players during the playoffs?

and a big LOL to an open team who drops down to C playoffs and has to add players to try and win. That rumor can`t be true.

No, in the above case the players would have been on the roster all season, just wouldn`t have played. There`s no season participation requirement for the playoffs.

the rosters already.

rosters are already locked. these ringers would have to be on the rosters already in order to be eligible for playoffs. they dont have to play in any game during the regular season. but if they are on the roster, come playoff time they are good to go
