Admin Notice S34 Rules & Tribunal Thread

[Cadsky]

I look forward to seeing Power Raid's post in the sign up thread

 

[Wosh]

In a thirteen team, 12 game season it's insane how crippling a 4pt penalty and two strikes is before the first sim has been posted.

 

[Wosh]

I love this game

 

[Cadsky]

I love this game

It certainly has its moments

 

[Headless]

I reckon Kennedy Parker did this intentionally.

 

[serial_thrilla]

 

[Cadsky]

I reckon Kennedy Parker did this intentionally.

So he can change the rules on the run for his benefit?

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

Hey Kennedy Parker, is Power Raid playing for the Swamprats this season or not?

 

[Ant Bear]

See what happens when I am removed from LG?

Disgusted, the first time the Rats have been penalised in my time.

 

[damicky]

See what happens when I am removed from LG?

Disgusted, the first time the Rats have been penalised in my time.

The Rats are turning on each other now

It is sad to see

Squad list: 24​

Well... The Swamprats have been found to be in breach of Rule 4B for incorrect squad change as Power Raid has been removed from the squad submission from the previous season.

It is my understanding that there was no intention for Power Raid to be delisted from the Swamprats, Power Raid continued to partake in Swamprat match threads and be involved in the team PM so for all intents and purposes is a Swamprat player.

There is no good reason why he was missing on the S34 squad submission but c'est la vie.

As a result of this breach - the Swamprats have recorded SECOND STRIKE under rule 4B.

Spoiler: 4B Squad Changes

4B) Squad Changes

If a change is required to a team list for any addition or subtraction it must be noted in a post in the current season's squad submission thread.

The change must include alteration to the player list, and the list of any additions ("Ins") and subtractions ("Outs")

The initial squad submission must be altered (preferred) or re-posted (if original poster unavailable) to reflect these changes.

Squad changes are considered complete once both of these above actions have been carried out.

Any players involved in squad changes are unable to be named in a team sheet for the new team until a valid change has been completed.

Any players that have closed or permanently banned accounts are not considered to be active and therefore those players must be removed from the submitted squad and the squad minimum criteria must still be met.

A player may only have one account as a listed player in the Sweet FA. No aliases allowed. A minimum 8 game suspension applies for a breach. Alias accounts may be used in a joking manner in media and match threads only, any alias accounts posting in a sign up thread will be considered a breach.

Failure to adhere to these Rules will be punished under Sec[6] of these Rules, as determined by the Administrator.

Sin City Swamprats Official Team Sheet

Round 1 vs Mount Buller Demons FFC @ Alberton Oval

B: Firestarter - jackster83 - RPCB
HB: Ant Bear - TheDarkDwarf - darthmann
C: Power Raid - KinderSmock - philreich
HF: GotTheGoodes - Kennedy Parker - ant555
F: BloodySwan - okeydoke7 - sataris

FOLL: GremioPower - Grav - ShaunDuggan

INT: Ticky009 - HirdsTheWord​

In addition to this. The Swamprats have subsequently named Power Raid on the wing of the Round 1 team sheet making them in breach of 5B - naming an ineligible player as well because Power Raid is not on the official squad.

As a result of this breach - the Swamprats have recorded THIRD STRIKE under rule 4B which mean the Sin City Swamprats will be penalised 2 points to be recorded on the next update of the ladder.

The close this matter, philreich please edit the Swamprats official squad to include Power Raid.

Note:

Now, there are certain people in here, foaming at the mouth yelling "THIS NEEDS TO BE A 4 POINTS PENALTY AND SWAMPRATS SHOULD BE 1-STRIKE AWAY FROM ANOTHER 2 POINTS!!!"


4A) Initial Squad Submission

A valid player list or 'squad' must be submitted by a representative of each team prior to the deadline set by the administration in the nominated squad submission thread.

A valid squad submission post contains:

• a list of minimum 22 players and maximum 30 players
• a list of changes from the previous season's final squad which denotes both the additions ("Ins") and subtractions ("Outs")
• an identifying characteristic of the team other than the poster.

If a player changes their BigFooty username during the season, both the team sheets and squad submission thread must continue to use the original username at squad submission deadline for the remainder of the season. The simulation output will continue to list their original name.


There is recent precedent for this, this exact same matter was voted on by the tribunal in Round 1 of the previous season with the Baghdad Bombers failing to list their outs. The result of the vote was in favour of downgrading that penalty from a high impact to a medium impact.

Not only did I voted in favour out that decision because it was common sense, I was the deciding vote. My stance has been consistent the whole way through even in a similar case where it wasn't my team in the firing line.

So for those looking for a pound of flesh, you can help yourself to a bag of dicks.

Verdict of RE-Vote

All committee members have voted to either dismiss or uphold the High Impact Charge on the Bombers. If upheld, the HI charge would remain, if dismissed, the charge would be downgraded to a Medium Impact.

The Bombers challenge has been successful with 6 committee members voting to dismiss the High Impact charge. Thus, their charge for incorrect Squad Submission will be downgraded to Medium Impact. Captains BLUEALLTHRU and Metalcrusher will still miss a week, but the Bombers will no longer receive a -2 point penalty.

If Power Raid is not named as a delisted player, he is still technically on the Swampies list. An oversight in the list lodgement is just that.

The player wasn’t delisted from the squad, he was named in the team. A minor infringement only.

Well obviously, the rule changes were intended to be made so that nobody would be have any substantial penalties for the entire season.

And that's fallen apart before Round 1.

Gonna have to do even more deregulation next season.

Wow. Admin sets the rules for the season, completely ignores them when it involves their club. Once again a complete and total abuse of power. Sighting a ruling that was adjudicated incorrectly in the first place, one that saw a sec 3D - abuse of powers charge against the admin at the time which only fell through because the committee at the time were lazy. This again raises the question of a 3D charge but considering the lazy prescient already set by committee I'm sure it'll be swept under the carpet.
