HULA ML Cleanup
 

All right, it's time for some authority here, and fortunately Climber was willing to hand me some. We're going to get the regular season done by the end of the weekend.

Missing matches from Weeks 1-5 will be played by the end of the day Friday or forfeited to the player I feel made the most effort. Missing matches from Week 6 will be played by the end of the day Sunday. Meaningless matches which are unplayed by that time will be recorded as draws; forfeiture of matches that matter will be done at my discretion. PMs will be going out shortly to captains and players missing matches.

Week 6 reporting should still go in the Week 6 thread. Reporting for matches from previous weeks should go here.

As an addendum, let me express my appreciation for teams bds and raisins, both of which have played all of their matches.

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

Crrrrrap.

Stealthcow essentially says "fuggit" for his entire team. This is obviously problematic. If someone has an elegant solution to this, please, let me know.

My impulse here is to let the other outstanding matches for TMFS9 and Baronzeus play out, in hopes of identifying just how much needs to be done to make this up. I don't think it would be fair to just forfeit Stealthcow in Weeks 5 and 6. So if we can find a way to get billyjex/Milo resolved, and if Baron can play his Week 6 match ASAP, that would be good.

I apparently missed this one. This makes it somewhat simpler.

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

Here are the current standings as I have them:

ihardlyknowher 4-1 (16-10)
Goofball 4-1 (13-13)
bds 4-2 (15-15)
raisins 4-2 (15-15)
dave44 2-2 (16-11)
TMFS9 2-2 (10-12)
Baronzeus 2-3
Climber 2-3
WiteKnite 0-4
Stealthcow forfeit

Ihardlyknowher has clinched a playoff spot. Dave44 and TMFS9 are both longshots but still mathematically alive.

Thank you. And a thank you to bds as well for keeping the pressure on our commissioners in absentia.

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

Can you describe how the playoffs work in one easy to read paragraph

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

The team in first place will play the team in fourth place. The team in second place will play the team in third place. The winners of these two matches will play each other for the title. The losers of these two matches will play each other for third.

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

And the payouts will be...

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

From memory, the payout structure is 50/30/20.

Exactly. With 140% share to team captains and 90% shares to each team's players.

Some of the captains really worked for that extra share too.

The fact that we are 4-1 is pretty amazing considering that 3 of our 4 victories were achieved without our absent 5th teammate.

That's because team ihardlyknowher rocks [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Thanks, team, for taking us to the playoffs.

Worth saying that one of our weeks is still outstanding at 2-2. Last I heard was that GT1T was going to get in contact with Bob L a couple days ago...don't know if he did.

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

Last I heard he had an emergency to take care of at home. I don't know when or if I'm going to get to play him by Fri but if all else fails I can play a sub.

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

Bob L defeated Getthere1time in a long match.I forgot which week this is from.

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

we still have an oustanding match that could make our record 3-3 (between baron and drgutshot).

since their team forfeited, do we move up in rank?

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

so is the season over?

i wanna play more.

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

go Bob
go Alobar(is he still gonna play this out?)

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

I fell out of the loop for HULA. Is there still a seperate website for tracking the season and getting involved with a team?

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

scotch 78 defeated me after a long match that involved blind doubling.

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

awhile ago i gave milo my AIM name and told him we had to get it done, and that was the last i heard from him.

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

Milo contacted me this week and we arranged to play our match on thursday night (he said he was available after 9:30 central-time)...but he was a no show (and no further response).


I PM'ed him again on Friday and said I was around all day and whenever he was avilable would be great.
No response.


I think we are close to the point where we can just claim a forfeit and move on.
I'm not sure of course...but I doubt that he would mind that much either.


People get busy. no biggie.

milo - if you still want to play it, let me know.

It was an old match and our team already won that week (of course). We just need wins/forfeits from Alobar and Microbob.

I'm in charge of getting hold of Alobar's opponenet for this week since he is banned but i still haven't heard anything at all. I'm taking responsibility for making his 'reasonable efforts' to get the match played.

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

i've got the playoff itch....

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

I just woke up, and was going to put in a session at Multi. Guess I'll do some forfeits here instead.

The easy ones: rory/crazygoose for Weeks 1 and 4 are forfeited, GetThere1Time for Weeks 1,2, and 4 are forfeited. (Yes, that makes one match a double loss. So?) The three Baronzeus/Stealthcow matches from Week 5 go to Baronzeus.

What's left is Billyjex/Milo. I need to look through the threads before making a decision on that one.

Week 6 games have a couple days to get played yet.

I've been hearing this from both sides. Since Milo posted he couldn't get in touch in the original Week 3 thread, WiteKnite has posted the same several times, and you haven't replied to any of the previous callings out about this match, and we attempted a replacement and your replacement didn't show up either, I'm awarding the win to Milo.

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

I went ahead and forfeited Stealthcow's team for Week 6 as well.

Current Standings:

goofball 4-1 (14-14)
ihardlyknowher 4-2 (16-14)
raisins 4-2 (15-15)
bds 4-2 (15-15)
dave44 3-2 (17-11)
Baronzeus 3-3
TMFS9 3-3
Climber 2-3
WiteKnite 1-4
Stealthcow forfeit

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

Dave44 and I have both been busy. I sent the first PM maybe 8+ days into the week and set a time--we both forgot about it. He sent the next one--we've both been pretty swamped and haven't got it together yet. I'm out of town this weekend so I doubt its gonna get played by Sunday night.

I'd say its about a draw at this point. I'll look for him on AIM one or two more times though if I get free.

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

HULA ML has now been split into two groups. The first group will consist of all the bad players, who will play against the commissioners' teams. Those players will also be allowed to make exciting proposition bets against the commissioners, since playing a single HU match is boring.

The second group will consist of all the good players, and the teams that cash will only receive 70% of the prize pool. Actually, since we all violated the terms of HULA ML by not finishing our matches on time, the commissioners have decided to freeze all the prize money and keep it for themselves. Enjoy!

What is this...commissioners' week?! Suddenly they're all so generous, and full of all kinds of great ideas!

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

I pmed kiddo and he read it but didn't respond. I'm not sure what more can be done unless his captain wants to suggest an alternate.

oh wow that is complete bullshit.

i guess milo said [censored] the PM where I gave him my AIM name?

i never got a response after that

i'm not saying i coulnd't have done more but to award the win to him just sucks. if was just as much his fault as mine. if he wants to play, we can play tomorrow. but then again, he never im'ed me, so i guess not.

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

FWIW -
I have PM'ed Timprov to claim a forfeit win over milo in our week 6 match.

we had arranged to play last week on Thurs but he was a no-show. And he did not respond to my 3 follow-up PM's on Thu, Fri and Sat.


I didn't hear back yet on my PM to Timpov either so am mentioning it here in case it didn't go through for some reason.

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

ah, srry, this eurobet thing exploded in my face... forgot about it... I PMed u know, lets play soon

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

Are we gonna get this going guys?

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

i'm curious as well.

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

it seems to me that there is just one match between dave44(still eligible for playoffs?) and someone else holding us back. otherwise the playoff field is set, so play the frickn match. it was supposed to be done a month ago, some arrangement should have been made for a sub if the two players in question truly can't get together.

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

I disagree regarding playing the match.
There has been plenty of time...and lets face it, some people are obviously kinda blowing this off (which is no big deal imo...we just have to be realistic about this).

It should either be awarded to one party or the other (if there is reason to do so) or be declared a draw or a double-forfeit.

Re: HULA ML Cleanup
 

dave and I are scheduled to play at 10 or 11 am tomorrow morning.

sorry guys,
