Strictly speaking, you aren't allowed to play a closed group in ranked. I.e. You can't have a casual league group in ranked, play arranged or introductory matches or play friends that you sometimes share an IP with, due to a buddies night in for example (drawn together in competition would be different). League is for this.
As for box this is impossible. You may not attempt to 'fix' the draw by agreeing with someone to activate certain TV teams, however playing friends in box should be totally random and out of your control. Thus allowed; as long as no draw fixing is attempted.

You can play an arranged game with box teams with the test game function but good for you getting in some real life blood bowling :)

Sorry if I was unclear, Harvest... we're copying the stats from our Fumbbl teams, and playing the board game version with those teams. No threat to the competitive balance of Blackbox is intended, nor indeed possible ;)

I understood. I was simply clarifying the rules for those who may not know.
