Are you sure you they didn't hit the (quit country club) button? It is very easy to do and as there is no confirmation button the removal is instantaneous. We have several members do that in the past.
This exactly what I thought the cause to be. The first player had not been in the club long and it happened to him in successive clashes. However during the last clash it happened to a director who had been in the club for over a year. I specifically asked him if this was the case and he was adamant that it wasn't. The timing seems too coincidental. Both players were able to re-join the club with no problem.
As a club owner I do not have the "leave club" button so I'm not sure where its positioned. I am surprised however that no confirmation is required if you inadvertently click on it. It takes 3 clicks for an owner to remove a player from a CC.
My theory is perhaps they have clicked on a button before the page has fully loaded and as a result the click has registered in a different place. Perhaps somebody with more IT savvy than me could confirm if this is possible.
