David, welcome to the forum. Thanks for the intelligent questions, and explanation of your system. I've never worked a game that implemented the substitution-pattern that you describe. I would think that it would make the games much longer. Substituting all five players every minute or so would make the sub "breaks" longer and more frequent (or so it seems to me after admitting I'm completely ignorant about it
). So I'm just curious, what's the average length of game in your games? I mean, if your game tips off at 7 pm, what time is it done, generally?
As to the search function, don't get me started. It's been disabled for over a year. We've gone through a huge growth spurt here and (I think) the site software couldn't keep up with all the search requests.
