THis sounds like stupid question. But I do notice that many teams change in my league mid-season. At first I thought this was because bots where being replaced but I do know in several instances that was not the case. Anybody know the reasons why a team is changed?

what do you mean by the team changed?? The team could have been a bot and than given to a new player?

No, I some of these players have posted in the forum, so I seroiusly doubt they were all bots.

Cheating? Multiple teams? Daytrading/passing money between teams? There are quite a few reasons why a team can be disqualified, and the GMs don't have to tell us why they decide to delete a team.

Or simply being not active for long enough. And then replaced with a new manager soon that you didn't realized they've becomed bots.

It should happen only in lowest divisions in which there are any players. I.e. if thte game starts filling even lower division (if any such exiast) it should stop getting new managers to teams in higher divisions (no matter why they lose their managers).

(Correct me if I'm wrong)

I just read that after seven weeks of inactivity a team will be replaced that makes sense.

Where did you find that 7 weeks? I'm just curious because in the very first mail from BB after registration was 5 weeks (which is apparently not right).

5 weeks if you never log in.
7 weeks if you played regularly and then stopped playing.

as far as I know it's just 5 weeks.

If a user does not log in for 5 weeks in a row, his team goes bot.

once a team has gone bot, it can be replaced by a new user. This could take long, or this could be the first day, depending on the sign-ups for that country.

If a user can not log in for 5 weeks for some reason, he can contact the crew to prevent his team from becomming a bot. Note that you can not do this after the facts (you can not tell you where on a 6 week trip afterwards to get a team back) you must provide the info in front of the five week inactivity!!

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.
