Hmm...
I'm not sure what to think of this idea, it could be either brilliant or silly.

Does having excessive timeouts really block you from the League? If that's true, then that restriction should rather expire like every year or so.
I can't see why I'd ever need to wipe my record clean. And it is difficult for me to imagine anyone doing that even after a massive timeout spree. There's bound to be something there that you want to keep.

Why not just put people on a probationary period when they exceed a certain number of timeouts over a certain predetermined period of time? Then if they go without a timeout for X number of days the probation gets lifted but less violations are required to trigger a new probationary period.
That way these people can play in leagues but when I get a challenge I can still get an accurate idea of who I'm playing by looking at real stats.
This is probably too complicated an idea for the existing software but im just brainstorming...

Wipe your record clean
Not a good idea after all - it will inevitably lead to players who keep resetting after 20 games, after losing a game, after timing out once, and so forth. What if Cyrano would reset his account today?

And even...
If it would be possible only once a year that would lead to undesirable practices.

Simply leads to rating inflation. Those that wipe their record clean the most would be those below the default setting of 1200.

Right. Why bother to win if you're under 1200 if you can just get a new account?

Okey, thanks for your replies. It was worth a thought I hope.
