If we get enough players
If we get enough players I’m happy to sub/sit out for this match to give someone else a shot.
I know I’m free 2 of the
I know I’m free 2 of the nights from the 3 but I’m not sure which night I’m not free yet – still trying to setup the meeting. Will have to come back about availability.
We had the Numbers
We had 5 Confirmed for a Monday Match ?
3 undecided ?
Lack of interest ?
5 is actually enough
Although it is a disadvantage but it’s inline with the rules:
“A) Team size is 6 players. A minimum of 5 players is required to play a match. “
I think not having some one take on the captaincy was more of the issue?
that’d be my guess. Fair
that’d be my guess. Fair enough too
The information that was at
The information that was at hand was
Monday Yes’s = 4, Maybes = 1
Tuesday Yes’s = 3, Maybes = 2
Wednesday Yes’s = 4, Maybes = 0
then there was a few which game No indication at all
Also, The deadline was to respond by 9pm Sunday…. I ended up responding at 12am Monday
No one indicated that they wanted to be captain. At 11pm I asked 2 IPX players if they wanted to be captain before i declined. I basicly got told to shove it by one player and told to “decline then”.
considering I felt there was absolutely NO chance of getting a captain between the hours of 12-4am. there was at best 5 for Monday night, a night which I was NOT available for, I made the decision to Decline the challenge.
It was NOT my place to accept the challenge on th behalf of a team which i was not going to play in.

Dont like my driving call 1800 Go Truck Yourself”
It’s a simple matter of
It’s a simple matter of not enough numbers and no captain. Match declined. I don’t see any issue with that. We all knew we would have to decline some matches given the numbers we have. I tried to make it as clear as possible back here. It really shouldn’t be too big of a surprise for anyone – certainly not something worth arguing over.
Maybe there will be more responses before the deadline next time. Or even volunteers for captaining.
Exactly
Exactly!
nothing like a bit of
nothing like a bit of assumption then sour grapes is there?
It’s not my place to accept a challenge on behalf of a team that doesn’t have enough interest either. So don’t explode at me when I do the same thing you do. You’re getting all riled up over nothing. 5 played games out of 6 isn’t too bad, I’m sure other teams have had it worse. At least we’re still in the ladder, other teams have already left, one in particular that gave us the poll position…
And if you’ve got a problem with what I’m saying here, you can always dial your own number =)
Glad I asked
Glad I asked…… :)
Reason I asked is it looked like we had the interest but n0t the Captain but I thought
who posted the challange is the Captain.
Anyway
Life g0es 0n……..
l00king forward to the International Scrim…………….
stuff
That was my original idea too, but it seems like people pay more attention to our website than their own email and are more likely to respond there (+1 for our site!!) so it can only help if one of the captains posts the challenge even if they can’t captain it (it’s not required though) – they just have to make sure they say that they need a captain in their post – which Shad did.
Anyway, I added some extra columns in the challenge I posted today. Makes it easier for everyone to see how many we have available on any given day.
Looking forward to the international scrim too :)

it’s that kind of enthusiasm that gets matches declined =)
