Um, yes. I object to the spot becoming a 'bye'. Apples have left the league.
So... its pretty silly for two teams to have a bye when they could both be playing games this fortnight.
Its not about objections. As far as I'm concerned, play the games whenever you want.
The issue is this. Your division now has less teams. This means you will play less games. Consequently you will have a period in which you play no games while the other larger division catches up and plays their games. This has to happen before the playoffs.
We can reschedule all the games (harder, now that some teams have played) so that your whole division has that month at the end of the season, at the same time, before the playoffs, or we can do nothing and treat each game as a bye, in which case every team will have a 2nd rolling 2 weeks without a fixture. So play them now if you want, but you will still have a 2nd two-week period. at some point, in which you have no fixture because your opponents have quit the league.
