We aim to keep the game to a four-week turnaround for postal leagues, fortnightly for email leagues so that you gain the maximum enjoyment from our product. Each session your squad sheet will inform you of the next RETURN-BY-DATE, which will be the day we expect your orders to arrive back to us.
Any orders arriving twenty-four hours after this date will be deemed late and you will receive one less automatic Success Point [SP] on the following session, so it is up to you to return your orders swiftly to keep the SP’s flowing. Your turns will generally (all things allowing) be processed the day after the RETURN-BY-DATE and if we do not have your orders then we will use the NO MANAGER RULES (below).
Hopefully your next turn will be back in the post a day or two after that so that you will have plenty of time in which to return your next set of orders. If you have trouble in meeting deadlines, it might be wise to submit a set of stand-by orders for us to follow, rather than use the No Manager rules. This will save you precious SP’s, and will allow you to make a rough guess on what team will actually make the park for any missed games. At the start of a new season, you will be sent a standard orders sheet anyway, and if you choose not to use it, then that is up to you.
