Sorry, and thanks for a reminder - nationality corrected to the list.
I forgot to mention on the other 'Homegrown teams II'-thread, that if anyone spots clearly wrong information here on this thread, or on the other HGL Scores-thread (that was also established yesterday), please let me know preferably by BBMail, or on this forum and I'll take a look at it.

Not yet...

Although, sadly, I think we have always seemed to try and be a little America.

It's a shame. We are unique and should try and stay that way rather than pander or try and emulate other nations. I also strongly believe that geopolitically, we should be remaining neutral. We are of the west, but we also reside in Australasia. Neutrality and good relationships with all our neighbours and allies would be ideal in an ideal world.

Unfortunately, the world is no longer ideal.

Well said. We are in some weird times, I am just hoping cooler heads prevail.

All good, mate. You’re doing a power of work, mistakes are bound to happen. But please don’t sell me off to Trumpville! Anything but that!

Thanks mate for understanding, and I totally agree - there will be some mistakes when completing all this work, but I hope we'll get past them. And of course with my luck this happened with one of (or more likely 'the') most well known managers of our HGL community (you being the NT coach as well, which I should've remembered when completing the team list)!

While I might in most cases be better off steering clear from political-ish jokes, I might make a rare exception here and there. As I kind of could make up from your message that Trumpville isn't on top of your wishlist, it inspired me to create supposedly very effective addition, "an Aussie exception/clause", to the rule set; when committing a violation that would cause a forfeit, instead of enforcing a forfeit rule normal way, we can instead change ||TRV|| as the country abbreviation on the participating teams list for the remainder of the season for the Australian team in question, instead of using ||AUS|| ;D
