Boxes changed: I've picked up some user comments here in the blog suggesting to reduce the number of boxes to two. Now there is one box for the Reserves and one box for all players out of the game. The latter one is dynamically filled from KO to BH to SI to RIP to Banned Players and Players missing the game. You can see this in the screenshots below:

Result Uploading: I've finished the end game sequence (including defecting players and spiralling expenses) and shared the XML with Christer. He is now working on transforming the XML to database updates on Fumbbl. If that is working correctly the outcome of a game can be uploaded and effect the teams that played.

What's next? I am pretty much through with my preparations for beta testing. I have some ToDos left over (some bugs I noticed myself, stand up rolls, jump up blocks, some minor usability things) that I want to finish. Then Christer and me will work on the server infrastructure (need to have a new database, need to build the playffb.net site) and off we go :-) There is no set date for the restart of testing yet, but I can say with reasonable certainty that it's within weeks not months ;-)
