To turn a phrase, please strap on a pair of balls and make a decision
Very true Mumble.
The Crusaders will
not be penalized the 2 points for non submital. As it was a fifth players scenario i felt it would be unfair to the team to give the penalty, when the rules on this situation were not clearly defined as to the fifth player.
I agree with others sentiment's that non submital is perhaps the worst thing one can do in the league. If we lose interest now, we will get nowhere, fast.
From this point on, as per the set precedent, if in a fifth player situation there is a non submital that will be counted as 0 points and unless someone on that team manages a negative score, that will be the omitted game.
For continued non submital's though, there will be an extension to the above rule. If for instance Darth reappears and commits to playing round 2 and then non submits again, he will be given a -1 handicap for the following round.
This counts for anyone. After a second non submital, regardless of any fifth player situations, for the following round after 2nd non submital the player in question will have -1 handicap.
To answer your next question i am assuming guys, that if darth is a no show between now and the end of the round, we will assume he is no longer an active league player and omit him from calculations. No penalty's will be given or considered.
Hope this was understood by all, i will clarify as needed, i rarely convey my points in 1 effort
