Will provide more reason not to go with speculative picks who may or may not play, so it could give an advantage to those who choose a team of mid-priced players over a premium/rookie type combination, who will have to wait and see whether their players actually get selected.
A 7.40pm start would also help, but the 6.10pm start worked a treat this year crowd/TV wise, so expect more server shenanigans next season.
A lesson learned .Palmer wasn't selected first round last year but didn't need to be traded just before lockout.
First game is on a Friday Night ...

Richmond play Carlton on the Thursday, just like they did this year.First game is on a Friday Night ...

Another easy solution is for the AFL to require team lists for round 1 to come in at 3pm instead of 5pm. It will give a couple of hours more for DTers to see the team lists and make the necessary changes. That should ease the burden on the servers.
There are 250,000 teams in the comp and it's an AFL arranged competition. Surely the AFL could help us out by changing the deadline for the naming of teams by 2 hours...
How about a Big footy petition to the AFL to change the time???

Don't bump 4 month old threads.Not sure where I heard the 250,000 from maybe total teams in all DT comps.
But I'm not the only one with this thought. The below is a quote from the Fanfooty blog...
"The obvious solution would be to introduce a special regulation just for round 1 to require the 12 clubs playing after Friday to submit extended squads on the Wednesday night or Thursday morning, so as to at least spread out the huge amount of traffic that flows to the VirtualSports servers on opening day.
The AFL knows that Dream Team is big business for them now."

Bit of a plateau last year, and now the breakout???250,000 is about right, might be 300,000 this year.
230,000 in '07 and just over 200,000 last year. But not all are in for round 1, more join each week.

Reduced time on ground then?
It was only so few because it opened so late. SC opened about a month (maybe more?) before DT last year, so everyone did that instead.
