Rules S33 Rules & Tribunal Thread

Played basketball once against the top team in out league. They only had 4 turn up. They were so good they thrashed us in the scratch match we played (one of their guys later went to the NBL, and one the SEABL).
We got the 2 points as they couldn't field a team by the ten minute mark, so forfeited. That's what generally happens in organised sport.

It's a pretty simple concept I would have thought. Any team who can't field a side or fields a side with ineligible players forfeits a game, simple as that really. Any sort of organised competition would have the same sort of rules, regardless of what sort of event is taking place.
 
What would be the minimum amount of players required to make a post to avoid such an investigation

East Side Phoenix only had 10 players make a post / turned up for their last match

Since some are calling for the Bombers to be docked further points and the East Side didn't turn up against the Dragons should we just call it even and allow both teams to finish in the top.4
What a pathetic post.
 
When did it get changed from four (4) points to two (2) points for certain indiscretions? Piss weak penalty.

The Bombers should be less eight (8) points.

Sorry sorry, yes I realised this has probably already been litigated...

No need to be sorry mate. Please, go on.

I just assumed that the correct outcome would eventuate with appropriate sanctions.

As much as I appreciate some people aren't sticklers for rules, this is more about how the game functions. If we have one team continually give a big **** you to everyone, it destroys the game. And it was a deliberate **** you. Not a lazy **** you.

I mean, I personally think the Bombers should have been banned from finals and awarded the wooden spoon. But I appreciate that that is an extreme measure that wouldn't have much support. But they actually deserve that sanction.
 
How many people have wasted hour upon hour on this stupid game? Ljp86 what 5000 hours? 10000 hours? Season after season. Has he ever missed a week? I don't think so.

And yet we have Bomber after Bomber after Bomber, season after season after season say **** YOU to the Admin, to the Committee, to the simmers. To Ljp86. To NaturalDisaster.

Blah blah blah it's just a stupid online game.

Disgraceful.

Spot on beez.

I now rate the Admin and Committee the same as the International Cricket Council when it legitimised throwing. The Bombers* are the new Murali and an asterisk is forever affixed to their name.
 
Is this the grumpy old men thread? Where posters, under the guise of seniority, get to deride the caretakers of the game for doing a tough job in extraordinary circumstances.

Someone made a brave decision. We’re all abiding by it. Nobody got what they wanted.

Move on.

beez, I'm as happy as the next Phoenix that we're up against the Dragons this week... this is about having to put up with that shit for another week this season, isn't it?
 
I thought you Bombers got turned on being whipped with wet Lettuce leaves

So you’re describing two bombers greats being ejected from the SFA as being whipped by Lettuce Leaves?

Nope.

So disappointing to see you in a Quisling role.

Not at all, I'm devastated by that.

I thought we were talking about your team fielding ineligible players. And what copping a 2 point penalty?

You were we weren't.
 
(footy comps everywhere would have ruled forfeit or walkover and penalised the crap out of the offending team but hey we like running the sim and watching our games)
Except that one time that 34 players from one club were suspended and the admin made special allowances that allowed them to continue to compete.

Look, I'll admit I don't particularly want to come up against the Bombers, but this is more to do with the fact I don't want them winning the flag. We actually had a reasonable match thread against them previously. And the one before that too, I think.

My annoyance is two-fold: the ineptitude of the Administrator in handing out just penalties and how all these fantastic Bomber posters are let down by leadership, or lack thereof.

But hey, I get a week to engage with the Bomber posters who bring so much to this league, and ignore the posters who deliberately seek to ruin the game for the rest of us.
