    Cheers Len, that time date/stamp is the Greenwich one, while the countdown one non team entry is the one I need to see as it is either negative and currently locked out or positive and not.

    The 07:36 bit is the same as the negative/positive bit mate, at least it was to my sleep deprived eyes at the time :)

    Thanks, what I am speculating is that the calculation on your page is different to the calculation on the “second countdown” page, which I think is the one linked to the actual lockout time. So ideally we would get a view of both taken at the same time for round 3 once round 2 rolls over.

    Cheers @JoshyC - the 5 days 1 hour countdown is correct and is locking out at 610pm Sunday, the other countdown is bogus as it is counting down to 07-10am Sunday morning as it is confusing Melbourne time and Greenwich time zones which are currently 11 hours apart.

    It is a bug and entirely fixable if it mattered but I am confident that it is unrelated to actual lockouts in TSleagues.

    Nemesis and Krunchy Nuts play out an 1152 apiece draw. Don't know if there have been draws before in Addicts. Also had a draw earlier this year in FA. Bit like holes in one, don't get many, but then had two in about three months.

    Hello fellow coaches, I am writing this as I am pleased to announce our new keeper league on the SC platform is ready to go. Len has kindly donated his time (only one error - pls check your PM Tylo and Stripey) and populated all teams to be ready for R1.

    While it's not exactly the way the play currently, it's as close as we can get with the bonus of almost hands off management and live scoring, which offsets considerably. The key updates/changes to our current format/rules are summarised as follows:

    1. the fixture - being we now play each other 3 times for 21 home and away games, starting round 1 and playing through all byes where bye rounds have a reduced on field output (best 8 scores) due to inflexibility in the scheduling system offered by the SC platform, as it would only allow us to miss the midseason byes and there was no option to create a custom fixture to match the one loaded for 2026, so this was the best and fairest option, and

    2. the flex - being we have added a flex player to act as emergency ongoing, as the emergency options on the SC platform were limited to 'select per position' (like normal SC) or to use 'auto mode' where coaches select no emergency and the lowest scoring bench player will replace 1 non playing in any position - ideally this would have been the highest scoring bench player which kinda would have matched how we play today. These emergency limitations are obviously quite a significant deviation to how we play currently, so by using a flex we believe that there is a setting where the flex replaces the lowest on field score if their score is higher, including on field zeros. There is a risk this is not the case, meaning that it might be that you actually score for 13 players instead of 12...so time will tell, and finally

    3. the pool - being it is open to all coaches at any time by default per the SC platform, but our previous rules still stand being that no coach is allowed to pick up waiver/pool players after the first bounce of the round, or before Tuesday 9pm Vic time each week, or if they are eliminated from or not playing finals (including once the season ends in full) else they will be made to reverse it out.

    Everything else remains the same, but could you update your team name on the SC platform @graeme and revert to Nemesis please. I understand some of these changes may impact some coaches, and knowing this earlier might of changed your draft strategy this year, so if there is a compelling and/or majority argument against, i am happy to push pause on this move for this season. Also, open to running the comp in both platforms for the few rounds in case we want to back out and re-assess over the season, say if the flex doesnt work out, or if the byes = carnage, or to take votes on some of the settings, etc.

    So to accommodate for the extra player in our roster, we will need to complete a mini draft of 1 round to top us up to 21 players on TS. The same draft order applies. I have picked.

    Finally, I have set up a WhatsApp group for us moving fwd, pls PM me or Len your mobile number and we can add you to the group chat.

    As you all probably know I've been advocating for this since SC lifted their Keeper game.
    Addicts started there 12 odd years ago, and will hopefully continue there for many years to come!

    How do I select my team? At the moment a team is picked but it is not optimal. There is no white + sign in a green background to right of my team name.

    I have probably missed something obvious.

    Reckon you might be right @stripey . Perhaps it is a reaction to NZ making the finals of the cricket World Cup. BTW, a 33 ball 100 was just amazing to watch, brought up his century with a four which also ended the game.

    Draft has to finish first guys, as soon as we get this extra round loaded, which I can't start until Dean has his pick you will be able to play with all the shiny new toys :)
