Post season TR knockout status - Apply here!

Another status update.
All teams so far have been accepted into the group, and assigned into the appropriate bands. None of them have quite enough to start, but we're getting close.

Applications so far (11/3/07 - 10am):
0-150 - 6 teams
151-175 - 4 team
176-200 - 6 teams
201-250 - 5 teams
251+ (open) - 0 teams


Some extra information:

Some coaches have teams in multiple tournaments, which is fine, but, please let me know ASAP if you don't think you'll be able to play all of the games - scheduling 3-4 games in the course of a week is not that easy a task.

Also, if we end up needing to adjust the numbers slightly (e.g. there are 10 teams for a TR band, it is likely that coaches with only one team will be given priority.

If we don't get enough applications, I will consider merging some of the groupings, which would make the rating limits 0-150, 151-200, 201+, however I'd prefer to stick with the current TR bands if possible.

What's the official explanation for this ruling? This seems to have gone down exactly opposite of what we keep telling coaches season after season will happen when resolving forfeits.

What good is a policy if we don't stick to it?


The policy was stuck to... DL had emailed the admins requesting an extension or a forfeit as gumbi had been absent for a 3 day period and had not replied to DL's PM.

gumbi in turn had emailed the admins with a single line ""Hi guys, i msg dl but no love?" on the wednesday. And was then absent from fumbbl for the above mentioned 3 days.

No request for extension, no advice on his own playing times available.

With DL in chat and waiting gumbi's appearance, we decided to award the points to DL on account he gave a more logical email and was on site ready to play with the only communication from gumbi being the cryptic one liner received mid-week followed by an absence.

Extensions are not unlimited and after an additional 48hrs, Laviak wielded the axe correctly.


The first PM i recieved from DL was on March the 7th, after my email (about 27 hours before the game was axed). I admit the email was a 'bit' cryptic, but it was requesting that someone ask DL to contact me, as he hadnt replied to my PM. I had heard he was retiring his team and figured he wouldnt bother playing the uneven game.

Unfortunately when I travel I do not have irc access, that doesnt mean I wasnt available for play, I was more than likely online. I had sent DL my mobile number to contact me (in either my first or second message - fumbbl doesnt have an outbox so i cant tell)

Shrug, doesnt make a big difference, shoots down my hopes of going to conf, next time I will be more clear in the email.

The more info the better! Useful as it would be, I don't think any of the admins are psychic, so we can only make a call based on what we are sent in the emails (that goes for coach names/team names too! - it makes it much easier to see which email corresponds to which game if the names of both coaches are in the email header).

These days, whenever I send an important PM, I always send it to myself as well. That way I don't have to remember what was in the message, or when it was sent (granted, this would be easier if FUMBBL had a "sent items" folder, or facility for multiple recipients).

starts tonight (probably around 11pm after i do the axings), and a weekly schedule. So, assuming 8 teams, that's a 3 week schedule if you make it through to the finals, (4 weeks if there are 16 teams). Most likely there will be a couple of weeks before season 19 starts, so there probably will be some overlap.

The Fringe Tournaments are just for fun and Laviak has kindly offered to run them... they will not be impacting the SWL season proper as the teams are Fringe and not SWL Divisional sides.
