Should be soonish. After everyone has made their changes and we get the games written. I'd say during the weekend...

Will there be anything Earth-shaking in the next couple weeks? (I'm not going to be anywhere near Internet...)

Well, my plan is to follow last year's format. So unless something changes for some reason....

After this final round of group play you will be allotted SEVEN trades and SEVEN stars (and one white tree, har har).

After the first round of the playoffs you will be allowed EIGHT stars, but only THREE trades.

After the quarterfinals you are allowed NINE stars, only THREE trades again, but you will be allowed at that point to feature FOUR players per squad on your team.

Before the final round the star limit is TEN, and once again THREE trades.

Well, if you're truly away for that long you may return and find that your entire team has been eliminated and you haven't been around to replace them.

Perhaps you will be around long enough to make your next round of trades? If not, perhaps you should designate someone to replace any of your players that get eliminated, and give them some sort of loose instructions such as, "Should any of my players become inactive, consider first replacing them with players from team X (if team X is still alive), and then team Y (if...), and then team Z (etc.).

That made me laugh.

Good idea!

If I'm not mistaken, Kuru and Skip have not made changes.

Do you wish to change anything before matches are posted?

If I remember it correctly, Skip said he would not be able to make changes every round... We could wait for him a day though just to be fair. Meh, waiting for him the last time resulted in him picking Túrin as his captain and gave him a gazillion points... But whatever, let's wait for a decent time, like 24 hours?

I think Kuru has been active around so he should be posting his new team soonish?

So how about we start posting the final rounds of the Group-play like 24 hours from now? (I just finished doing group A and need to go to sleep, but I could possibly make group F tpo be released tomorrow as well - leaving group G for Sunday)
