League X - Fixtures & Results

Lights still not working at Mitch. Might look into hiring Downs for tomorrow. Otherwise will play Newt.

This is happening at newt tonight.

Working on the time for Pigeons vs Clerks. Still waiting to hear from Clerks.

It will be after the 26th if that's cool though? I dislocated my finger the other day and need some breathing space for it to heal.

Yes, as long as you can get this game scheduled by the 26th.

Injury Is the only reason this is permissible.

1 month is plenty of time to organise 1 fixture

I don't really understand this. Rules for rules sake? Why run it in a way that will result in maximum forfeits, and minimum games played?

I know rite? Why not let someone who loves to sub sub all he wants eh? ;)

can't you see i'm trying to use my iron fist here wooody

Quite the opposite buddy. If we didn't have a timeframe there would be much less need for the sub.

I think you missed the sarcasm there... :D

I know you anarchists think chaos is great or that people can spontaneously organize themselves with little hippy meetings run on consensus. ;) But that's not the way it works. If there were no fixture windows, then the league would be absolute chaos and the games would not get played.

The games didn't get played last year with fixture windows. Without set fixtures and deadlines, it would only be worse. Soon you will learn that Lenin was right.

I disagree. We are currently threatening that people won't get to play their games, and I suspect many people will have to forfeit games because they won't play inside the window.

It is worse to stops games which the players are keen to play, because of an arbitrary time window, than it is for games not to get played because of lack of motivation. Those games still won't happen in this format (the same people are still lazy/uncommunicative), and the only people that are harmed are the players themselves.

Sorry! Famously hard to spot sarcasm on the interwebs

Dude. People have a month to schedule a single game. If they can't get that single, focused event done there is no way they will manage to schedule eight games over eight months with no structure or focus.

Every league in every sport has scheduled games. There is a reason for that.

yeah month is fair tbh, maybe give a week's extension for good reason but beyond that SUBMIT TO DA FORFEIT xoxox

But what I am talking about is trying to maximise games. A format that has a forfeit penalty may do that, i just dot believe it will. Will be interesting to see.

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

I know that Dauma, Laura and I are keen subs this league so yeah we could have made a team but you can pick and choose to your fancy!

You don't need to wait to see. This is how the league has been run for seven of nine years. Forfeits were enforced in all but the first year and the ninth year.

In many years, all games were played. In other years, there have been a few forfeits because one or two teams were very hard to schedule -- forfeits were given quite appropriately in these cases. Last year was an anomaly in that many teams did not finish games, but this was due to them not being scheduled by the teams (and lack of whip cracking by the league manager, perhaps), rather than any forfeits being given to teams who really wanted to play.

(Seven of nine)

The worriers vs Quasar, Thursday 26th, Newington 7pm. Ref's please.
