So many people have stated that admin burden for exchanging team lists in advance is onerous.

Lets have a detailed look at the admin required to publish team lists in advance.


1. Find a neutral volunteer who has e mail and will be on-line at the deadline for publication.
2. Team A sends him their team list.
3. Team B sends him their team list.
4. The volunteer copies the content of the mail from team A and sends it to all on the mailing list from team B
5.The volunteer copies the content of the mail from team B and sends it to all on the mailing list from team A

That is the admin needed in advance

Copy / Paste / Reply all
Repeat

If team B mail fails to arrive - DO NOTHING.


If colours need to be known in advance.
Either away team white on odds.
Or the same volunteer tosses a coin and tells one captain he has won the toss.

Or easier the two incoming mails state if the team wishes to have white or black on top board.
If not stated just assume the captain would call white on odds.



And if a player has to be subbed on the day - Rules need to be decided upon but
I would suggest the sub plays on the board of the player he replaced.
So that prepping for the wrong player only happens for a withdrawal on the board in question.
