7.2 FINALISING LEAGUE ENTRY & INCOMPLETE LEAGUES
Prior to the nominated Start Round for your League, Teams are entered into Leagues on a provisional basis. League entries can change up until the beginning of the Start Round. If your Team is not filled with 21 Players, your Team will be completed using our intelligent Smart Auto-Fill feature. This will be done at 2am on the day of the next Full Lockout after setting up your team.
If your League has not been filled by the start of the Round, your League Commissioner will be given the choice of reducing the size of their League or updating the league start round.
If the league is not full by kick-off of the first scheduled NRL match of the Round the league is due to start at, it becomes unscheduled and the start round will be pushed back by a week. This process repeats until the league is full.
One way to manage league numbers is to add expert/celebrity players to your league (e.g. The Lone Scout). The league commissioner can add these experts via the League Settings page, from the Tuesday prior to the opening game of the season (see 3. Key Dates).
You can leave a league prior to its start via the button League Settings page, but only if the first lock-out of your League has not commenced. Once the league has started you can no longer leave/change your League.
7.3 DEFAULT LEAGUE SETTINGS
The League Creator (Commissioner) decides whether to create a Head-to-Head or Open league and defines the settings that govern league play.
If you create a Head-to-Head league, the default league settings listed below will apply, unless the Commissioner changes them prior to the league starting. Once started the settings can’t be altered.
The default league settings are:
There are other settings that can be adjusted by the league Commissioner. This can be done via the League > Settings page.
Note: When adjusting league settings please pay careful attention to the logic of the settings as it is possible to cause conflicts that will mean your league does not start as expected. For example, in a 20-person league starting in Round 2, with a Top 8 finals series, it is not possible to play all teams twice. If your league does not start as expected, please check these settings and adjust accordingly. If the logic is sound your league will start at the next Round.
