It's finally here, public teams are live in production 🎉! You can now look at other user's teams and lineups by clicking on them via the rankings page.

In addition to this we have made several improvements in the infrastructure ⚙️ which should improve performance and a more stable experience. You can read the full change log at the bottom of the article (can't fathom why you would want to do that unless you're a true geek like me!).

We remind you that the next tournament Players Championship (starting on the 19th of February) has a short transfer window. Try to get your trades in after the Welsh Open is finished and before the first match in the Players Championship.

Example of viewing a team belonging to a different user.

Rankings check-in, here's the current top 10 during the Welsh Open.
