Go to your league home page. It should state Yes or No. Never seen a yes before.

That is a big no no as far as I am concerned. Not cool at all, unless it was a mistake. I even worry about people doing it under different names. You can do some serious damage with collusion of this kind.

Looks like he's a new guy. Probably doesn't know.

One of his teams will still have to go. If you don't notify Strat before the draft, I'll notify them afterwards.

I sent an email to onlinegamesupport@strat-o-matic.com

If that's a legit email address then we're okay.

Good and bad news...

Fred,

Thank you for letting us know. One team from that user has been pulled from the league.

Unfortunately, he's added it back since then! No, this is not a comedy!

Why doesn't the online engine AUTOMATICALLY enforce this as I would think it would be easy to determine if the userid is ALREADY in the league?
