one of the participating players became unavailable.
Regularly open challenges get accepted, and then, soon, sometimes very soon, like within
minutes, the challenge gets cancelled with this message: the challenge is cancelled due to one
of the players of the opposing team becoming unavailable for teammatches.

We all know its quite an effort to keep starting teammatches, especially when you have a big
team. Apart from the unfair accepotances that i decline and my own players becoming
unavailble, this is the third reson why challenges dont result in a match.

When this happens, the effort to set up the open challenge is wasted, because also other teams
cant take the challenge anymore, since it disappears from the open challenge list.
i dont know a solution for this, only asking other captains for their consideration not to take up
those challenges when they know their player can become unavailable easily because he is also
chosen in another challenge of that team. Maybe Gameknot could reinstate those challenges also
back into the open challenges list when this occurs.
Anybody else has another solution to this?
