A look through our mailbag reveals that some PlayTheGame managers were surprised to learn that player allocation in their league has been postponed until August 10. We did this for all leagues that had not reached the number of teams specified by the league creators in recognition of the fact that many potential managers like to leave registering their team until the last possible moment.
Of course, no one can be expected to wait forever so please take note that all delayed player allocations will be run in the early hours (BST) of Friday August 10. Indeed, all leagues that have reached a minimum of five teams will be formed with player allocation taking place that day. Thus regardless of when your player allocation was scheduled, your league will form on Friday, giving you the opportunity to set your team for Saturday August 11, the first day of the season.

Dear Samuel Slennet - Player allocation is currently running for all leagues scheduled to run today (Aug 10) and also those posponed from the past week, making this the single busiest day in our schedule. Please be patient as the system works through the glut - all teams will be formed today.

my league is the real premiership and my team is blue blue blue I posted this before but I think I used the wrong forum,
Q- why is my player allocation delayed until 31st august, I ranked my players before the opening day of the season and the league was full on or about the same time , so what happens to my scores for the first 3/4 games that I will miss, will the scores be added retrospectively?
