Reason why we got kicked:

We changed:

Scout from Sneaky to Carlotso because Sneaky went to sub due to exams
Soldier from Thaigrr to Setsul because Thaigrr couldnt play enough
Got a sub pyro Syn because Morphine was on holiday
Sniper from Pyth to Flow because Pyth didn’t like Piplup

For this reason we got kicked from the league.

None of the new team members have played prem, except Carlotso who played prem spy.

This is what Kkaltu said:
[14:05] <kKaltUu> If your team faces heavy lineup changes, contact us beforehand and we'll sort stuff out
[14:07] <Sigma> i did that last time there should be proof of that somewhere, but i have been on holiday for 2 weeks and i guess my co-leader didnt tell you guys, but can is there anything i can do to fix this?
[14:08] <Sigma> all the players that have been added are high level
[14:09] <kKaltUu> The rule is in place to prevent roster hijacking. All we ask is to either play officials with at least half of the original players of the team, or contact us beforehand when facing roster issues
[14:09] <Sigma> ok thats the rule, the rule has been broken, but why kick the team out
[14:10] <Sigma> its fair to kick the team out if they just add a bunch of prem players
[14:10] <Sigma> but that has happened, at least give us a warning
[14:12] <Sigma> *hasnt
[14:14] <kKaltUu> Can't make more out of it than this, we weren't notified and had to resort to dropping teams that changed their lineups drastically.
[14:15] <Sigma> so whats the reason behind the rule?
[14:16] <kKaltUu> to prevent roster hijacks.
[14:17] <Sigma> what is a roster hijack?
[14:18] <kKaltUu> Adding in players during the season and using them during the officials. so that we have to consider them a new team.
[14:18] <kKaltUu> We draw the line at half, but are lenient if teams contact us befroehand

A list of people who have played for me:
Sneaky! 3 games
R3l0X 4 games
Morphine 2 games
Piplup 4 Games
Fenrir 4 games
Selek 3 games
Flow. 4 games (1 unrostered match)
Morphine 2 games
Setsul 3 games (1 unrostered match)
Sigma 2 games
Carlotso25 1 game
Waffy Wuck 1 game

ONLY PLAYED AS MERCS (unrostered)
Piddox 1 game
Coopxr 1 game
Redspark 1 game

7 people played 3/4 games im not sure how does that count as "most of the original team not playing"

[14:18] <kKaltUu> We draw the line at half, but are lenient if teams contact us befroehand

More than half. 7/9. Nice one ETF2L

If we had told the admins we probably wouldn't have been kicked, which makes it even more of a dumb rule.

This rule in my opinion is to stop prem players stacking lower divs after the season has started, which is not what we did. All the players added are high level.

Whats the point of locking rosters if adding subs and new players mid season gets us kicked?

What some people thought of this:

15:34 - [CoF]Antso: and now they are making examples out of you, me, and sboob

15:38 - redwood GIve me teammmmm: half of prem teams change entire line up between seasons

15:32 - Coolbeans | maincall.tf: WHY NOT?
15:32 - Coolbeans | maincall.tf: WHY THE FUCK
15:32 - Coolbeans | maincall.tf: IS THE ROSTER NOT LOCKED FOR THE WHOLE SEASON THEN

Also Antso's team got kicked because one of the players they added was 2 days after the season started. What a Joke.

16:11 - Broshi: Andy joined the 23rd
16:11 - [CoF]Antso: its a month ago
16:11 - Broshi: which is 2 days into the season
16:11 - [CoF]Antso: aw come on man
16:12 - [CoF]Antso: so we got him on a lil later coz no rush, and its 2 days. are you seriously pint pointing this to that? :S
16:13 - Broshi: sorry man, nothing I can do to help you

I didn't even get an email telling me about this, seems unfair.
