Replace vs. swap offers

When you see an open request from a teammate, there are two different ways to respond — pick "Offer type" before you send it.

Replace takes the week outright. You play it, the requester doesn't. Your total game count for the season goes up by one, theirs goes down by one — a straight transfer, no week owed back.

Swap takes their week and gives one of your own weeks back in return. You'll be asked which of your own upcoming weeks you're giving up — pick one you're free to play, since the requester (or whoever ends up matched to it) takes your spot there instead. Your total game count stays the same either way; you're trading one week for another, not gaining or losing games overall.

Only dates that can actually be traded are offered. You can only offer for a date you don't already play and haven't marked unavailable. For a swap, the list of weeks you can give back only contains your own upcoming matches that the requester neither plays nor has marked unavailable — if none fits, Swap is greyed out with a note explaining why. Past and cancelled dates never show up. If the week you're giving back is one you've already asked to get out of yourself, you'll get a warning: if that other request gets matched first, this swap can no longer be accepted.

Which one to use depends on whether you actually want to play an extra match this season (Replace) or you're just as happy trading one commitment for another (Swap).

Either way, your offer sits as open until the requester (or an admin) accepts it — see Accepting an offer for what happens then.
