Round 11 will not have an order: it will be a free-for-all round where everyone can pick at once. The problem is that everyone will still be required to pick off the previous career span. If, amidst the chaos, you make an incorrect pick due to someone butting in ahead of you, you must make a new pick, or even make the same pick if it is now eligible, in a subsequent post. You may not edit your post, or you will be inflicted with a penalty.

Round 11 will begin at some point at least a day after ankitj' pick in R10, at I believe 09.00 GMT (10.00 UK, 14.30 India, 19.00 AEST, 21.00 NZ).

A quick look at where people have been picking in each round on average (higher number means picking earlier in the round than expected)

L&L getting lucky and KK really getting shafted by the random number generator.

Clearly Kallis doesn't win at random luck either.

It looks like the RNG has spies everywhere and is upset about me calling it out.
