MC is going to be at a distinct advantage or a disadvantage because his lack of games will make it easier to raise his winning percentage or lower it. | ||

They're doing everything they can to accommodate the players, and they have literally no control over it. They even just added in an extra day of lee-way for players. Cut the league some slack, sheesh. So many whiners. The league should know better to re-re-re accommodate these players that literally are flying over planet earth to play in other tournaments to make a living. Giving walkovers in a small online tourney when players don't show up? Ok, acceptable. Giving walkovers against high profile players that are traveling, in a tournament that is supposedly trying to make itself more legit as time passes...not the best idea for all parties involved imo, especially NASL. Can only get them more negative press, and it's hard to argue in their defense on this one... Hopefully they fix these issues and accommodate players further than what they think is sufficient accommodation. I don't watch NASL, but I can't see how this is anything but a let down to fans that are giving NASL a chance and watching it + even paying for it. | ||

Therefore it can be 9am for player A and 9pm for player B and not 10pm-4am (or the like). obviously one may argue that some players might have a job too and cant play during the day anyways, making such arrangements impossible. I was just developing his opinion, not stating my own 10pm-4am is only 6 hours... lol. | ||

So I'm assuming (since I can't be entirely certain) that BratOk chose to take the W.O. | ||

These things do happen in other sports leagues. In the NFL, one of the stadiums was flooded this year, I think it was the Vikings or another northern NFC team. When that happened, they just rescheduled the game, found a different venue (at a college I think) and made it free for anyone who came. The NASL really needs to have a similar policy for unforeseen circumstances. It makes much more sense than a team or a player playing less games than everyone else. | ||

Some of the guys who have to play MC later might as well not show up since MC is so good they will lose anyway but by finding an excuse to not show up they dont get losses. :D It's true. People can start abusing this and making excuses to get 0-0 against people they think they'll lose to. It's very unlikely though. | ||

if it's team/board of trustees/organization who decided that, then the whole team should be fired and never be allowed to host a tournament again. how stupid. | ||
