We are on the verge of winning the playoffs and several of us want to switch to another team. The question is that if we switch to a different team for next season, can we still play with the old team in the tournament of chapions and if we win there, move on to Vegas with the original players? |

There is no "and farther". The TOC is as far as the Fall Session roster goes. "Farther" happens after Spring Session and it's the Spring Session roster that competes in Farther.

Hi Taz / Phil,
To be clear, we are not trying to do anything slimey here. Less than four of us are looking into the possibility of moving to another team for the spring season that better suits us. We are not trying to split into two qualifying teams or anything like that. We simply needed to know that if we move, we can still complete in the TOC and farther for the qualifying season with the original team composition as one legal team.
Thanks again for clearly explaining that this simple case is legal.
Heck, who knows, we may just stay put and resolve the individual issues, or if we move, the old team will just blow us off and proceed into the TOC with the remaining players.
Cheers, Diverbob ;=D Been down lately? |

Because I know how creative some of you can get with your thinking, I will qualify what Taz posted.
Splitting a qualified team into two qualified teams can ONLY be done with a 4-4 split of an 8-person roster.
The following are not "acceptable" splits:
1) Splitting a 7-person roster into two teams, with a common player being the fourth original player on each team.
2) "Splitting" a team to a second night, using the same players.
3) "Splitting" a team to another division on the same night, using the same players.
In other words, the two teams resulting from the split of a qualified team may have NO ORIGINAL players in common.

Thank you for the detailed and informative clarification, My biggest concern was not to leave the qualifying team (old one) "high and dry". Looks like we can all move on.
Cheers! |

Teams who advance to the Tournament of Champions (TOC) will participate with the roster they had at the end of the qualifying session. No player may be added to those rosters for the TOC. Roster changes made the following session do no affect (or apply) the roster used at TOC. Players who drop off the team or switch to other teams are still part of the qualified team for the TOC. Placing in the top 8 in the TOC qualifies the team for the South Coast Championships (not Vegas) which are held at the end of the Spring session.
Once a team has become qualified for the South Coast Championships, it must maintain a minimum of 4 players from the qualifying roster or they lose their qualification.
Now, if your team advances to TOC and finishes in the top 8, earning their slot in the South Coast Championships, it can split in half (provided they had an 8 player roster) and both "new" teams would advance, as long as they each have 4 of the original members of the team roster that qualified. If either of the "new" teams drops below 4 of the original players, that "new" team will lose its qualification, but the other will not. If the team splits in such a way that one of the new teams has less than 4 or the original members, it will NOT be qualified. The qualification will stay with the team that retains at least 4 of the original players/roster. |

I doubt that very much. If you win the playoffs and then switch teams, if the original team fails to have at least 4 of the qualifying team still as members, they lose their qualifying status. What your asking would be like half the New York Yankees going back to play for Boston when they loose the LCS. |
