Re: HULA musings (don\'t worry, GenHE fans...we are moving Tuesday)
First up, good job with HULA so far. It is not easy running any league, and this one is no exception.
OK. It’s honesty time. HOW FREAKIN HARD IS IT TO GET THESE MATCHES SCHEDULED? The thing that worried me most about this league is starting to happen. Technically, Week 3 should start today, but only about half the total matches for Week 2 have been played. There are some of people here who are really active and are clearly doing their part to make HULA tick, but there are a lot of players that just aren’t putting any effort in to this….and I mean ANY.
I run a snooker league. I run a competition once a month, usually about 6-8 guys in it - they always take forever to finish.
We are talking about 5-6 matches usually, yet people are incapable of organising matches - so I sympaphise with you. I couldn't think of any reasonable suggestion for awarding unresolved matches, so your system may be the only way.
It's a shame though, somebody defaulting their match could in theory cost their team - something which is totally unfair on the rest of the team that made the effort to show up.
Not a nice headache you have got on your hands is it? [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
