Ok, so, I sent a site mail to all the new coaches in this league. The email was as follows:
Hey there -
Just wanted to reach out because you are new to your team in Season 129. Your team is entered into the SOS Challenge for Season 129, so I wanted to try to get in touch before you scheduled your Season 130 OOC games.
The SOS Challenge is a tournament that has been going on for around 10 seasons now. Teams are entered and battle in a mini-game during the season. Since your team is already registered for Season 129 for you, if you'd like to keep playing, leave your Wk 2-4 OOC games unscheduled. After the results are tabulated for Season 129, the schedule will be released for Season 130.
This is a promotion/relegation style format with, typically, 4 teams per Tier. Winners are promoted to the next tier and losers demoted to lower tier. Generally, 2 teams remain in the tier they are in for the next season.
If you do not wish to participate in Season 130, please post your intentions in the forum as soon as possible. The link is below. Greatly appreciate you taking the time to help us keep this going regardless of your participation intentions.
