Yes. Yes. You should be able to as long as the team isn't locked.

Related to this, the reason they can't unlock themselves the normal way is that they are not team leader, despite being the only person on the team. You can note this from the interface where the solo person does not have a star next to their name, even though they should.

Thanks everyone. The team captain wasn't responding, which is why I wanted to promote someone else over them. I'll keep the "make new team" idea in mind for next time, a fair number of people don't tend to participate in chat much, even if they are decent players, and when recruiting PUG folks of course I don't know that in advance. Some hate leadership too (of the half dozen regular friends I play with, only one other would be willing to take team lead, even in a league). |

No you normally can still do it in the trials. One bug I have noticed is that occasionally when someone DC's and is added to a new team when they return the team they are on will be locked and they have to unlock it before you can reassign them.

I bet that was it, they were probably locked, and I didn't have a chance to try to communicate with them specifically after returning to ask about unlocking even if it had occurred to me, it was already into the fight Marauder phase and we were doing poorly enough that I was pretty busy. I hate to have someone cheated on rewards by being on a tiny team, plus it was one of our two defenders, meaning they probably weren't going to be taking down a bunch of mobs themself, and for any teammate buffing/healing powersets its also a bit of a pain to do people not on your team.
Anyone happen to know what the slash command is to unlock, should I wind up in that situation?

I've not seen this, and most people I've seen are easily able to be moved back. While we do have some smart players, as often as I've seen DCs coming back onto solo teams, I would think that I would have heard of the bug more. Makes me wonder if the person on the solo team was mistakenly looking at the team window instead of the league window. They aren't the same window and the team window might not have that lock button.

I ran a Trial the other day for the first time, and had a few questions about the League interface.
First, am I correct that the little "lock" icon on the top only works to lock the team you are on, not the whole set of league teams?
Second, am I correct that as league leader I can't actually change who is team captain on a team (other than my own team, obviously)?
Finally, at one point I DCed, came back and was made league leader again. Another person had DCed as well, and was now on a third solo team. I couldn't find any way in the interface to put them back onto the other team, which had openings. When I was setting the trial up, I was able to right click on someone and assign them to a team, but this time I didn't get that option. Nor could I drag them to a team.
