OTE: TIDE 1.11
The question has come up a few times in the past about the acceptance
of the leagues official game tickets and what constitutes being late.
This is just another example of our league needing official written
rules so that things are fair and easily understood across the
board for league members.
The rule of thumb thus far has been that the term "late" refers to
a game ticket that is submitted to either the league forum (here),
or by email (me), after the kickoff of the game (regardless of day).
If that happens, the "Official Game Ticket" or particular game in
question is to be considered a loss and added to your statistics.
I always try and make an extra effort to scan VERT and check my
email before kickoff to be certain i havn't missed anything but
"Official Game Tickets" (or as i call them (OGT's)), should
ideally be submitted NLT the day before the games begin.
Bottom line is that as the stat coordinator you have to sometimes
make decisions that aren't popular. It is what it is.
It's imperative that all league members understand this and realize
that the league's good name and reputation depend on honesty and
upholding rigid standards.
Although this league is all about fun and the love of the game,
our standards have to be above reproach in order to keep the
folks coming back season after season. I personally feel that
we have maintained that standard thus far and obviously our
returning league members feel the same way or else they wouldn't
return.
The old saying "It takes a team effort" certainly applies and has
contributed to our continued success thru 5 seasons. I hope that
our league continues to excel and grow well into the future.
