Just start it now, those who haven't done the write up clearly can't have that much interest in it now and it's unfair to penalise those who have. By the time everyone actually finishes the write ups the second wrestling one will be in full swing, hint hint MNG

I presume the next stage is starting Monday as planned?

It only takes about a minute for a reasonably fast typist to write out a formation so there aren't really any excuses.

Ok, my write up is finally done. I'm going to send PMs around to those who haven't done theirs yet and will move on with the next stage of the process on Tuesday morning. For those who don't complete writeups I'll go through their picks posts and stick up what seemed to be their intended formation in the match up thread.

I like the way you considered the likleyhood of changing formations. I also had this in mind when picking my team.
I was thinking for each round that the opponents might do formation and tactics for the game.

To be done fairly of course, possibly someone gets pm'd from both players and he posts them when he gets both.

Just a suggestion. Maybe there is no need to go that far and bring tactics, formation into the equation.

Is your team called "team write up" or is that just the heading of your post? If it's the former it's very clever.

So . . . the next stage starts today?

I never got a PM but Essien is my capt and it's a standard 4-4-2

we could just go ahead with the people who posted write-ups. I mean, some people didn't even bother to post their team, which takes all of a minute. People who have been logged on and posted plenty on other threads.
They should be handicapped in some way. Though perhaps having no write-up is handicap enough.

Ok, working draw today - it would have been nicer if everyone had done a writeup of course...but I'll have the thread up with the full draw and rules listed this afternoon (I'd consider drawing Mr. Nice Guy or Whatawaster an immense beat btw!).
