Say someone had Kane Tanaka quite high up,  at 3 say.

Does the sub come in at no 3 or does everyone else get promoted one position with the sub coming in at 21?

Asking for a friend....

Thanks.

 

Yeah if 3 on your list dies before the start,4 becomes 3,5 becomes 4 etc.. and your first reserve becomes 21

You always pick interesting names so I look forward to seeing who you've picked. 

I hope @Lord Fellatio Nelson has entered too I always enjoy his lists.

I doubt there'll be many surprises!  I think it spoils it when teams are publicly exposed before the start.  It's hard not to be influenced by seeing names that others have picked.

Agreed, it also makes one look like a pick thief, when all teams are revealed, even when they've been tracking certain lesser-known names, on their own, for awhile now.
