Yep, we most definitely do forfeit matches.
SWL runs on a weekly Monday timetable, though we will have longer rounds when warranted (typically the first round o a new season, and during holiday periods).
In the event that a game is not going to be played within the timeframe, coaches can send an email to our dedicated admin email address to ask for an extension. It goes to the email so that all admins have access to it, which prevents the problem of "but I send such and such a PM". That way, no matter who ends up doing the forfeits, they'll have access to the needed info. Any contact other than through the email address is ignored to ensure all coaches use it. We have a person dedicated to doing the forfeits each week (it's me), but when real life comes into play, sometimes others have to do it. Extensions are generally granted until Wednesday as a matter of course (though there does need to be some sort of reason). Games are occasionally extended further, but there needs to be an agreed time between both coaches for this round, and agreed times for the next round for that to happen.
Each season we do have the occasional coach fall by the wayside. Many coaches simply aren't up to the task of organising and playing a game per week against a specific opponent. These coaches are mainly the new coaches in the regionals. Once coaches have advanced past that stage they're normally quite reliable, as they've fought their way up through teams that may have been 50 TR ahead of them at times. This tends to weed out the less dedicated players.
As far as we're concerned, a coach makes a commitment to get all their games played when they join the league. If they are not capable of doing this, then they don't deserve to be in the league. RL issues do come up (this last round we had 3 forfeits in Premier due to RL issues), and these are acceptable. However, if someone can forsee that RL is going to prevent them from playing for a considerable time period, we prefer them to take a break and come back rather than leave a whole lot of forfeited games behind. We take a dim view of people who just up and leave midseason. First time offenders generally are considered to have retired their teams, and will be put to the bottom of the draft order when they eventually join back in and decide to get a new team. People who do this more than once will need to do a lot of convincing to be allowed back in the league, probably involving playing games in the Fringe and possibly some of the other smaller tourneys associated with SWL.
We do have a umber of coaches who realise they can't keep up with the main SWL schedule, but who will happily pop in every now and then and play a Fringe game.
Hopefully this ramble has helped in some way. |

Did you know?
Plowed Under zombie, Migrant Worker doesn’t have his green card. When asked to provide proof of citizenship he simply replied “cerebros!”
Did you know?
Sgt. Rock of Ariel Assault Armada once had such a bad case of explosive flatulence that now at each venue they visit opposing fans scream; “Can you smell what the Rock was cooking?”
Did you know?
Star Skink for Taste the Waste, Jammy Pack once auditioned to be the Geico spokesperson, eventually losing to the gecko.
Did you know?
Troll and co-captain for Blud’n’Gutz, Gutz GrumbleCraw used to be much more agile than he is currently, however his throwing game was just as lousy. |

Ugh!
This must be my least favorite bb team ever.
Cult of Cerebus with their 2-1-4 record are best to be known as the team that the nwl forgot.
Otherwise they hold no records to speak of at all.
Oh and needless to say they wil not return. |

Bampf you know you will pay dearly for saying SWL instead of NWL, right? Karma alone should see to that. But even canadians will likely beat you up for that kind of faux pas. Some of them can even say that in french! |

Hi,
Just curious as an outsider as to what the current status of the Northern Wastes League is. Did you decide to give it a break over the summer vacation period, or has it collapsed (I hope not!)?
I'm asking because having founded the White Isle League - a British Isles-based league with a very similar structure to the S/NWL, and of a similar age now to the NWL - I thought it might be good if we could link up, perhaps for a one-off Trans-Atlantic 'Battle of the Champions' game. Our current league season should end in mid- to late-September if there's any interest - (and the Premier coaches can probably play faster than that too).
Anyway, I hope your league is just in temporary hibernation and will be going strong again soon, as I think a match like this would work as a good promotion for both of us! |
