I still stand by my simple opinion that no goals should be awarded. It was stated at the league meeting at the slaughtered lamb which was announced with time to spare. Unfortunately not every single person could make it. The minutes were posted here and on the blog, which stated a no-show gave +3 to the showing team and -1 to the forfeiting team. Nobody had a problem with that at the time. Goal differences was not a part of that it was added on later. The very fact that there is a -1 given to a forfeit makes that gameless match unique. There is no other way a team can get negative points. So applying the same logic from a normal game isn't necessarily the best way forward.
This is exactly the reason we all decided to just go ahead with what we came up with and sort it out as it goes. I think this is a very important part to the scoring and do want to work out a solution. As to having every single player vote? Not necessary. Every team, yes.
