Big thanks for this Kiwi.

So league stage is 14 weeks long (starting next week)

cheers kiwi

we are playing each other twice

As it's longer, Gregs, shall we have 2 supplemental drafts?

Sounds good Sainty mate

No worries folks.

Please, if anyone spots any errors let me know!

Perhaps at the week 4 and 8 stage?

Either that or the 5 and 10?

Either mate. Maybe 5 and 10? Then after week 10 the teams are locked and no more trades can take place

Plan!

Essex first

first game is a home game

im really glad that we play each other twice

good to have a long season

Starts next week does it?

Nope its this week GG, match week 1 pitches will be up later

No bye week for southern teams due to no more Warwickshire

The Southern League is currently up to Round 7 (due to skipping byes), if we play the Southern byes from here on through the 2 conferences will finish at the same time.

Just noticed that given matches already played and the fixture list Leics are playing Lancs 3 times as are Notts and Durham...

Would the easiest way be for Lancs to Play Notts this week as that is the outstanding fixture at the end of the season. Or for these matches to just not take place?

Sorry Gregers, I've only just noticed your post. I haven't updated the OP yet, in my draw post 2 up from this one there aren't any double ups according to Excel?

Awesome, mate. What I'm going to do is if there are any (I think I made a mistake one week which caused it) then as I have this week that match will not take place

Gregers wrote:Awesome, mate. What I'm going to do is if there are any (I think I made a mistake one week which caused it) then as I have this week that match will not take place

Ah, right. I will do a check through the "played fixtures" tonight and see if there's any more tweaks needed to make it work.

Cheers mate
