I've been insanely busy in real life, but my team promoted this past season & I could've sworn I had just logged in a couple weeks ago, unless I hallucinated that. How does someone else have my team already? (Loyola-Chicago)

Is there any way to get it back? (whoever took it isn't logging in either). Maybe I'm confusing things with the brokenbat game I used to play, but wasn't the inactivity threshold set at over a month and a half, with even extra time given to long time owners?

If not, it's been fun & so long I guess! Wishing Steve continued luck & success with the game.

I'm sorry that happened.

So there is a 35 day inactivity rule. That was a rule discussed way back when with the community in play testing or so and is in place due to agreeing that the recruiting in the game being like it is where if there is a miss of a recruiting cycle it sets a program back a ways, so it may well be different than Broken Bat's inactivity rule for that reason.

I encourage you to use the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page or send a DM to Cal State Monterey Bay.

Roosevelt Lakers is a program to consider if you want to get back to playing immediately and their main campus is in Chicago. And then wait and see if Loyola-Chicago has a vacancy in the future.

I think it’s 35 days in hardwood and longer in broken bat. If that manager doesn’t log in for another 10ish days you should mail Steve and see if he will give you the team back. You may end up having to wait the 30 days though.

Thanks for the replies & info!

I must've missed the 35 day window by a couple of days then. Earlier in the season I did check the standings a few times, plus even look at the first committed recruit's page, but must not have been actually logged in while doing so. Lesson learned ;)

Sent Steve a message through the in game mail system. Will see what happens. I'm fine waiting around another month, or even longer. But will keep the Roosevelt option in mind should time ever free up for me. That was a really good idea.

Edit 2 - Got it back! Was really nice of the person who claimed it to switch teams. So thanks to them again!

Great to see a happy end to this story <3

You're a team I've occasionally kept an eye on as we've played in Buzzerbeater Utopia before too and I recognised the username.
