I posted in the league forum and am smailing you as well.

nhsteven's post following the 1/18 PM game (following 3 straight games where he broke the 98% player rule including starting the same pitcher 3 games in a row and the same fatigues players in his lineup):

Surrendered 16 HRs in give up game

I bet that the position players you sat are at 100% since you played Patterson at 58, Valo at 70 and Westlake at 72 in the AM game, then Patterson at 43 and Westlake at 61 in the PM game. That's crap to tank 3 games just to win more later.

This was after starting the same pitcher (Reith) 3 games in a row at 100%, then 10% and 11%. Seriuosly? I see this as a way of circumventing the rules. Forfeits don't hurt you if you lose anyway, and this was blatently breaking the rules.

You gave up 54 runs and started a pitcher at 11%...forfeits aren't enough for crap like that.

I think everyone should be making a reasonable effort to win games and not "give up".

Aren't "give up" games part of the fatigue stretegy this league is trying to stop? Last I checked, the "play scrubs" "give up" tactic was part of the fatigue strategy. As is the "give up a ton of runs so I fatigue my oppoent" portion of it.

I'm sure that this will cause a firestorm, but "I HATE this sh!t" and I ESPECIALLY hate tanking.
1/19/2013 12:14 AM
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that breaks the "Spirit of the Rules" part biglenr mentioned. I'm sure throwing a scrub at 100% would be borderline acceptable as a way to avoid fatigue, but to throw a scrub below that to avoid fatigue is clearly (in my mind) the very thing this league is trying to stop. That IS the whole point of the fatigue strategy, controlling your losses by resting your starters in games you intend (or can afford) to lose anyway.

Couldn't agree more. My thought is that this should be looked at as multiple violations instead of just 1 series.

Disco Dogs started Roberto Clemente in LF at 97% in my 1/21 PM game (no forfeit needed).
In the PM2 game, a forfeit will be needed.

That ends the series.

Clemente was 98% in PM2 so no forfeit, thx!

OK, check the forfeit sheets.

I have reviewed all sitemails, and posts to this thread.  If anyone disagrees, please get to me by 1/31 at noon EST, before I submit the forfeit requests.

Is this in addition to, or the same as, the forfeit listed for me above for the 1/17 am game?
1/29/2013 2:36 PM
That's the same forfeit... I used that as the source of the complaint.  I've audited a few days of games, but haven't found any violations that aren't reported here...
1/29/2013 2:48 PM
Thanks.  Is Admin going to actually make the changes to the W-L records in the standings throughout the season (or in batches perhaps), or only at the end of the year?
