Seasons and Re-drafting open testing
As you may have guessed from my previous blog post, I am working on re-drafting a season support for the site. As part of this, the next step is to open this up for general use in custom leagues, which I have now done. These features are still in alpha-testing state and are not necessarily fully functional but they are in a state where I need to start doing things that affect the site "for real".
Any ruleset that has seasons enabled may end up having their state set to an end-season state and will be pushed into re-drafting.
To avoid surprising leagues, I have force-disabled the season setting in all rulesets on the site, and you will need to enable it when you are ready to do so on your ruleset.
Note also that if you have a league using someone else's ruleset, you will have to pay extra attention to this.
Ruleset 4 (the BB2020 ruleset that the C division uses) is NOT going to enable seasons for some time yet, but eventually that will happen as well.
Current state of features, will update as questions arise, bugs are found, and things are implemented:
Working:
- When a team readies up, they will enter End of Season state if they have played a number of games in the current season that equals to or exceeds the configured season length in the ruleset and they have no un-played scheduled matches (e.g. in a tournament). This includes open-round-robin tournaments they may have remaining games.
- The mechanical re-drafting process is working, including all ruleset-configured options for caps, agent-fees, etc.
- League staff controls to enter and perform re-drafting.
- Electing to end a season early
- Scheduling teams into tournaments if they are in the End of Season state.
Missing features:
- Temporary retirement
- Tournaments that can force a team into re-drafting once teams complete their participation.
- Tournament "types" in general (ie. minor, qualifier, major), which decide how the tournament interacts with teams (who can join, what happens after, etc).
If you find any issues, please get in touch with me (preferably over the Discord, but any other means will work as well).

Leagues using ruleset 2198 Secret League 2020 may want to consider moving to their own ruleset for control over their seasons or lack of them.

Great News. Thank you for your effort(s)!
What about Ruleset 6 (2016 edition rules) will redraft be enabled for that at some point?

Ruleset 6 is essentially deprecated and will remain as-is (without seasons)

why would you implement redrafting using 2016 rules since the redrafting was not even a rule in that ruleset?

The redraft process was part of bb16 rules

With this in motion, how is the process of moving Ranked teams into the Competitive division going Christer?
