We have a full squad, all confirmed, but a majority has agreed to delay the start until 21 August at the request of one player (no opposition to the idea.)
What I intend to do is the following:- On approxmiately 18 August I will ask for new confirmations because of the delay, then as soon as I have confirmations from all except the player who asked for the delay I will create the game and circulate details so that we can all sign up ready, waiting only for the seventh player to return. That way we should get moving as soon as possible thereafter.
If I remember rightly the Admins can now set the game so that a password is needed to replace a surrendered player (hoping though that we won't need it). I will ask dipsy to do this once we're started. I will also advertise for at least one reserve just in case, and if we do get a surrender then I will ask dipsy to pause the game - that will need agreement in the Shoutbox from all of you, but I'll remind you (anonymously!) about that once we get started.
