FAQs

FANTASY SPECIFIC

Where can I get my AFL Dream Team or Super Coach ID?
There are two ways at the moment (this may change in the future).

When you go to the league page and hover over your opponent's team, you will be able to see their team ID in the lower left hand corner of the browser. You cannot see your own so you need to ask you fellow competitor to tell you what it is.

Another way has been detailed at BigFooty.com by going to the folowing URL:
http://dreamteam.afl.com.au/?p=topcoaches&overall=1&page=NN or http://supercoach.heraldsun.com.au/?p=topcoaches&overall=1&page=NN
Where NN is your team rank divided by 50 (teams listed per page).
Once there, hover over you team name to see your team ID as above.

NOTE: This worked for the 2009 season. It is not certain to be the case this year.

How do I use the SHOW/READ option to read my Dream Team?
Log into AFL Dream Team (or Super Coach) and under the "TEAM" Tab (where you see you team), go to "View" then "Page Source" in Firefox or "Page" then "View Source" in Microsot Explorer. Copy and paste the page source into the text box and click "READ".

BUG with players who shares the same first letter in the first name and the same surname.
E.g. R Murphy, J Roughead [Jordan and Jarryd]. The positional group will cut off at the correct number of players so team imported may keep the incorrect player.

After importing or reading in team, why are there still empty slots
This is because the database does not contain a record for that specific player. This is a very small number and I will endeavour to rectify this ASAP.

What is the Salary Cap?
Every team has a set amount or cap to spend on players. Enter your current salary cap or bank to see whether you team can accomodate various upgrades.

GENERAL

Why do you need ads on Dream Team Manager?
Development and maintainance of the site costs money and as this is a part time project done in my spare time, ads help pay for costs of maintaining the site such as web hosting, research, logos and prizes. Please support.

Why are there green links to pop-up ads?
These are Infolink ads that parse the site automatically and try to match relevant ads to keywords.

Why are there blanks where the ads should be?
Your third-party software or web browser settins are blocking them.

Why are certains sections of the website "out of whack"?
This is because development was done on Mozilla Firefox and it hasn't been optimised for Explorer ... yet.

Why do I need to sign up?
It gives your access Dream Team Manager's database where you can save and retrieve teams that you have created.

Why isn't email verification done automatically?
It will be. Please have patience whilst I work on this. In the meantime, an email will be sent to manually from Dream Team Manager to users nominated email address for a simple reply.

Why does it seem some parts or sections are missing from the website?
Dream Team Manager is a starrup website that will be a work-in-progress for the entire 2010 season. I will endeavour to add to the website as much as possible. Super coach integration will be ongoing and a major focus.

Why does it take time to fix bugs or update the website?
Dream Team Manager is a one-man operation done in my own time, on top of work and family commitments. However, I have made a commitment to maintaining the site as much as possible.
