Ahh yes you mean the flatliners!

tough games tonight against wonder. well fought and well played. it is, however, a GD shame that the games pivoted on FBs. Wonder is good enough to beat anyone straight up, w/o the fbs.

but it would be cool if the games were decided on play, rather than randomness.

that is the major flaw of this game. it's really quite stupid that someone would design a game of "skill" and have it affected so heavily by such a thing as a player spawning with a flag between him and an unguarded goal.

We need Funk vs. Evil screenies so I can update the charts!!

12:42AM here in Corn Country - still at work. You don't want to know... It looks like maybe I should sit more games. w00t, "w00t!"

A quick glance - next week matchups are key for the final spot.

Sparkle can still sneak in...Cinderella team? Can Fish & Co. pitch a shutout? Stink - now is the time to give JoBoo some rum...

^^ OK - but we need to get this game played before next week if at all possible!

it is a little of a grey area about whether all 5 points should be on the table for this reschedule. It is OK with me since both teams willingly decided to reschedule. But if there are strong objections - voice them now.

[Napalm]

I object!

What was the question again?

[The Professor]

With most items of law, if there is no authoritative guidance, the rule/regulation is up for interpretation. In tax, this typically falls back on legislative intent. I think Rx intended for the games to be 1) fair 2) fun (one is contingent upon the other). This (very broad) interpretation should guide us where the written rules do not.

The rules do not specifically indicate what happens if a game is simply not played. One could interpret that as a "forfeit" although scheduling/server issues could also result in a game not being played as well, which clearly is not a "forfeit" (or at least should not be interpreted as such).

At the end of the day, the rules are ambiguous in this situation, and both captains have voluntarily chosen to play another day. While I personally might not have chosen this route, it is a fine example of good sportsmanship, and furthers the intent of this league.

I say the bonus point should still be available, given this particular set of circumstances.
