GAMEWEEK 31 LOCKOUT

We are in the midst of an incredibly difficult and awkward part of the FTL Calendar for both the Admin and the managers.

At the moment, we are still in process of finishing up the ATP events in both Astana and Beijing (GameWeek 29), and they are in the midst of playing Round 2 Main Draw WTA matches in Beijing for GameWeek 30.  Sadly, there will be Main Draw matches in Shanghai (GameWeek 31) in the next couple of days as well.

 

FTL can only have 2 weeks going on at the same time, as you cannot pick a team with unknown player prices, so the start of GameWeek 31 will be put on hold until GameWeek 29 has been finalized.  As a result, it should be expected that the Lockout for GW31 will not occur until after R1 in Shanghai has been finalized. (This should also give everyone 24 hours + time to set a roster)

 

The fact that there are 32 Round 1 byes in Shanghai, should help minimize the affects of this lockout being pushed back.   Some additional information for Hong Kong, Zhenghzhou and Seoul might also be available, to help everyone's decisions for the GW31 lockout.

Normally every FTL GameWeek is started just before the first ball is Main Draw match is about to take place, but sadly, it cannot be helped this week.

I apologize for the inconvenience.
