Haha!

I really struggled on who to give that 5th spot to between Adcock and Conca. Have gone with Adcock for now  :-\

Yep, all good. I thought to myself this morning that this would be a good idea. Glad somebody had the same idea and set it up.

[RaisyDaisy]

Question

Do we have a rolling lockout in i5's and can we loophole?

Say I make my Emergency Conca who plays first and say he scores very well, can I then change one of my other 4 to a player who wont play so that I can then get Conca's score as an emergency - loophole?

Or are all teams final before the first games bounce?

[ossie85]

I'd recommend straight lock-out... an awful lot of teams to keep track of

[RaisyDaisy]

I agree, but I guess this scenario hasn't been addressed in the rules so we need to make it clear

Loopholing would be sweet, but it would be a nightmare to track all teams so I agree we just name the 5 and only get the Emergency if one of the 5 is a late out

Maybe Emergency can cover if a starting 5 gets subbed early? Dunno, but we need to confirm all scenarios and rules

[Nige]

Straight lockout yep, no loopholing either.

Oss said it well. We've just got so many teams, it's a lot of work to keep track of 48 teams in itself, let alone teams wanting to use a rolling lockout and loopholing to their advantage. We'd have to be right on top of every change.

Conversely a short year since I know Florida wont make it through the knockout stage :(

[Mr.Craig]

Japan vs New Zealand likely match up -

Hartlett, Cunnington, Gibson, Cornes, Savage vs

Gibbs, Hawkins, Sandilands, Carrazzo, Curnow

I should be competitive.

California v Florida matchup

Adam Treloar,Brandon Ellis,Stephen Coniglio,Bachar Houli,Adam Tomlinson
E: Cameron McCarthy

Dion Prestia, Jamie Elliot, Trent McKenzie, Jack Martin, Brandon Matera

Depends on whose players fire,I think it will be a tight match

[RaisyDaisy]

The way you all drafted truly proves that evolution can work in reverse.
