Still in Sheffield

How long can it take to get a letter signed

Winning third round bids:

I'll never understand how the tiebreak works (and I'm completely fine with that). All I know is that the above is showing me as having won Wood.

But if it's right that actually I haven't won him, then I did ask if I could please have James Taylor instead.

hmmm - maybe I didn't finally win a tie-break after all.

Since we're allowing 'either-or' statements then I'll PM Ian with my replacement choice for Wood (in case I didn't win him).

I hope everything is okay with your boy, Ian

Cheers DFM. Some good news, some less so...

No either / ors were permitted in the first 3 rounds.

Going to recheck Wood and Yardy then crack on with round 4

yes, hope all is well Ian. It's no fun traipsing around hospitals with kids. Or parents or grandparents - we had a nightmare over the last week with that - my wife's grandfather had a stroke at the age of 90 so is in hospital; and my mum then broke her wrist and now has her arm in a sling and it;s likely to be a couple of months - so childcare with 5 kids becomes a major problem as well. Anyway, hope all is well with you.

let me know - if I don't have Wood and my replacement PM is not ok, then give me a few minutes to PM you some round 4 bids.

also, for the lottery are we going with my suggestion or are we doing it the way it was done last year?

RD gets Wood
Brendy gets Yardy
DFM gets Palladino.

I think I can incorporate both methods

Going to look through for my bids now.

[Red Devil]

ok - please ignore my last PM then - just delete it since it will contain my top preference for the lottery part - so better that others don't know it!

[Durhamfootman]

is a lottery not just a lottery?

ie pot luck.

[ianp1970]

I think I have noticed another error:

Makhayas Misfits have been allocated Croft where I think it should be Crook. Will check back over the PMs.

[Red Devil]

I'll start preparing my lottery preferences - actually given how many players are still left maybe we should allow up to 20 preferences since you are unlikely to get most of them because other players will be getting their preferences in too. If everyone picked the same 20 players then we'd each end up getting only 2 from the selection. Hopefully people will pick some different players so then you might end up getting 4 or 5 of your preferences each.

Hopefully it should be easy enough to just go down the lists and shouldn't cause you any extra work.

Not a problem. And it's also cool that I can't have Taylor (yet!). But can you please take him to be my 4th round bid instead (my 60k Wood money). Because you originally allocated me Wood, I didn't submit any bids before 8pm today in the belief that I no cash left.
