The Annual 'When Does Lockout End?' Thread

[_RT_]

Seeing as there has always been a thread dedicated to those who sit up and wait until lockout ends, its about time that I started my annual late night lockout thread. Enjoy.

 

[IDIG]

Usually takes longer for round 1 iirc?

 

[_RT_]

Probably worthwhile getting a good night sleep and checking in the morning, but you just know some will attempt to hang on until it opens.

 

[footycool]

Will only open around 1-2am IMO. Round 1 takes longer

 

[Papa Juggs]

I wouldn't stay up waiting for it.

Could still be locked out after 7am.

 

[beez]

It opened at 1am last year even with a game finishing at 10:40pm AEDT

 

[Deledio2Conca]

Wouldn't it be open earlier this year? As usually they have to place everyone in a league by now don't they? Plus fixturing etc...but obviously they dont need to do that because they've already done it as league games started this week.

That's what I would've thought.

Wasn't there some loophole thingy where you could find out your scores before they came out last year? Can't remember how to do it.

 

[yogibbear]

Yeah there was a backdoor. And you kept manually changing the page no. to get to your team id or something based on rough overall score to find your ranking.

 

[Masss#10]

Thats a little desperate, just relax and wait...

It really wasn't that hard to do from what I remember.

Yep, if your score was > 2,100 you probably only had to make about 4 or 5 guesses to get to the right page.

 

[Thumpy]

It was very simple to do.

 

[yogibbear]

Oh i remember it now. You changed the URL for overall rankings to the current rnd no. i.e. the '0' in the URL becomes a '1' and then chuck in a &pg=X where X = 1,2,3,4,5,6, etc. until you get to your team. I think.

 

[Dunn - Well Done]

The great thing about being 3 hours behind Victoria

 

[loyallion]

They are sure taking their time tonight thats for sure

 

[Crow-mo]

how does lock out take more than 5/10 minutes after the last siren?

 

[Audacious]

well im in Perth and im bout to go to bed. Cant. Stay. Awake.

well 300,000 teams need ranking. These teams are all in different leagues, etc. Gotta take a while. First lockout always does.

The data would all be sorted automatically, it always amazes me how long it takes for lockout to end.

I've got a bad feeling that it may not open until like 9am I mean, would they be doing anything right now?

 

[Papa Juggs]

I was sorta joking when I said 7am but still it might not be worth staying up.

Well I'm always up at this time so thats not a problem its the waiting thats really annoying me.

Supercoach is open
