begin the stuff up of opening round and a bye happening, virtually you could either pick the bye for the opening round or a team.

so in that regard if you missed opening round and start round 1, you are forced to pick the bye in opening round. For those that did tip a team in round one, they will be forced to tip a bye from rounds 2 to 6.

if it was like a normal season if you missed out tipping in round 1 you had to wait till next year to join.
