do not forget the new 2010 lock out system

[MissPies]

Unedited from Official Dream Team AFL

             The Round 1 Partial Lockout system has been  introduced for the first time in the 2010 Season. Due to the Thursday  start of the season, the Partial Lockout system will:

- Ensure that you have sufficient time to review Round 1 team lists for  the Friday-Sunday matches, normally announced 90 minutes prior to the  Thursday-evening lockout;

- Avoid missing out due to any website access issues that may be  experienced with the late rush of Coaches trying to access the Toyota  AFL Dream Team competition, in the hours before the Thursday evening  lockout after teams have been announced.

  HOW DOES THE PARTIAL LOCKOUT SYSTEM WORK?

- The competition will go into a 'Partial Lockout' mode at the start of  the Richmond v Carlton game, at 7:10pm AEDT on Thursday, March 25.

- Once in Partial Lockout mode, any Richmond or Carlton players selected  in your team will be 'locked in' - you'll no longer be able to remove  or substitute them.

- Similarly, Richmond and Carlton players will no longer be selectable.

- You may continue to edit your team as usual with the remaining players  and teams up until the start of the Friday evening match between  Geelong and Essendon, at 7:40pm AEDT, March 26. The competition then  goes into FULL LOCKOUT mode with the complete teams locked in. NO  further team editing is possible.

- If you have selected a Captain, Vice Captain and/or any Emergencies  from your Richmond or Carlton players prior to the Thursday night, they  can NO longer be de-selected or changed. If you did not, these options  will remain available to you through to the full lockout on Friday  evening.

- Similarly if you did not make any/all of the above selections, you  cannot make those changes with Richmond or Carlton players (i.e. you  can't name a Carlton player to be an emergency once the match is under  way and a partial lockout is in effect).

TO KEEP IN MIND

Remember it's always good practice to:

- Make sure you have a full squad of 30 players selected at ALL times,  to ensure you have a valid entry and your team scores points in Round 1.

- Avoid saving partially-complete teams, particularly around the busy  time of the Round 1 lockouts. Remember, you can edit your team as much  as you like and you do NOT need to save each individual change.

- Only hit save once you have your desired 30. Following this advice  will ensure that you have not over-written your previously saved 30  player squad with a partial team, should you have any accessibility  issues in busy pre-Lockout periods.

The Partial Lockout system will return for the Split Round (13) -  further details will be published a few weeks prior.
