Hi all its been brought to my attention that a few matches have had to be cancelled due to players / clans failing to get a crew together on the night of an arranged match............
I always listen )))))
It's frustrating you get a crew together and end up waiting around wasting and spoiling the night when you could have played someone else.
I am not innocent from this last season my own clan ended up cancelling a match and through my own frustration and a method of apology to the clan we were supposed to be playing I called the match void and gave the other clan their deserved points for our failing.
It is hard and sometimes its a genuine reason but the rules are already in place to allow two clans to reduce the number of players playing and agree but most matches are played 6 - 8 players so if a clan turns up with 8 players and the other clan only has 5 I would say to be fair that the clan with 8 would reduce by one player...............
If a clan turns up with say 4 players and the other clan has 8 then again the clan with 8 would drop one player but the clan with 4 must play or if they cancel be penalised........
So these are my thoughts to revise the rules - please supply any of your ow suggestions, we did have a rule in season 2 but we try'd to simplify the rules so this was omitted.
My thoughts -:
If a League match is arranged and one of the clans informs the other clan at least 1 day before the match they need to cancel then that's fine.
If a clan cancels a League match on the Day of the match they will loose a full 3 points so that means if they have no points they will get a -3 on their clan score.
Any Clan getting 3 lots of penalty points (-9 so cancelling 3 matches) will be voted by the other clan admins on if they should be removed from the league.
That may seem a bit harsh but I dont want to over complicate the rules so this is a sure shock that if your clan cant play dont mess another clan about.........
Your thoughts and views welcomed as always!!!
Yes and no - If both clans are happy yes not a problem - thats kind of covered in the rules already but it wouldn't be fair for a clan to have to say to 5 of its members they cant play because the other clan has turned up with only 3 which is where I was thinking the clan with more players should not be expected to drop more than 1 or 2 players, they can if they want to but I dont think we should enforce that via a rule...............
I think at present though whats happend is the clan with not enough players has just cancelled - which happens but I think their have been a few instances where clans have cancelled a few times and not turned up which is not fair............
So I am thinking the above penalty points is to stop clans cancelling on the night of the match if you see what I mean........
They would have to play with what they got on the night or loose 3 points anyway....................
It will spoil the match a bit but its their to ensure clans make the effort and dont book and arrange and dont respect the other clans members if you see what I mean
