In my league there are some teams that have been given more than 18 players at start in BB. Why are they given this advantage?
Shall we compete with them without been given such extra players that's even of very good quality?
See: http://buzzerbeater.org/BBWeb/players.aspx?TeamID=41643

Can this be fixed?

The two extra players (the ones with the highest salary) played for the previous team before it became a bot. I suspect that they were transfer listed as FA, and somehow the sale got cancelled when the new owner was assigned.

i think we've discovered there is a loophole in our FA releasing procedure than can result in the new team keeping its players.. we are working on fixing this loophole.. it only happens for some teams that happen to be rapidly reassigned.

Maybe you can hold off re-assigning owners to teams with players for sale (eg put them into receivership for a week)

There was a new owner in the USA that was confused that their best players were on sale, when they had just got their team. So even if the FA sale worked it would have to be explained.

we just need to take the players we are releasing off of a team.. the problem is that we haven't written the transfer code etc to handle players who arent on any team, so that has to be rewritten.

The extra players for Oslo Kings have already been at work. Christer Jones http://buzzerbeater.org/BBWeb/playerBox.aspx?PlayerID=845... made 21 points in last match and should not have been in the team at all. The other, Harald Meling (628286), made 14 points. They can be called a "winning team" together and gave Oslo Kings a stolen victory.
Not smart to present BuzzerBeater that loose to newbies like me!
