Its a team-based tournament. It has already begun this time 'round, but you could join a team or create a team for WPL3 :)

That's a heck of an arrogant statement, Larus, sheesh. I'm grinning when I say that, but come ON man! How about something like:

"If you want the streak to continue, you'd better have your game faces on, because mag7 is out to WIN this week!"

See how much better that sounds? :-)

I would like to politely ask for a rule change. I'm requesting that a one time replacement (substitution) of players be allowed on each team. I would go further to limit this replacement to a player who's average is equal or lower to the player being replaced, AND that the player being replaced can not have submitted to any challenge in the past two weeks. Furthermore, I would state that the original team average remain the same.

Reasons: 1) The teams were set up quite a ways ahead of the actual beginning play in the league. During the interim time, circumstances have changed which keep committed players from being able to keep that commitment. Permanently replacing a player who can no longer play seems reasonable.

2) Most of the teams have been impacted by at least one player who has not submitted in the past two weeks. Of the 140 players, 21 have not submitted in that time, about 15%. That is a significant number so early in the season. In all likelyhood, others will have to drop out in spite of good intentions.

3) Substitutions were allowed in the 1st round, but appeared to have been stacked to higher scoring players. By requiring that the replacement have a equal or lower average, we prevent the "stacking of the deck".

4) Requiring the replaced player to miss 2 weeks indicates a strong need to "drop out" and keeps any team from benefiting by bringing in a replacement.

5) Scott should not have to do any recalculations because of replacements. Keeping team averages the same, plus other statistical compromises (individual improvement/team improvement) made as needed will allow the replacements without killing our great statistician.

Gudrun, our team captain, is making this request of Scott. I'd like those in the WPL to see the proposal and share your feeling in order to help Scott make a decision for the group.

Thanks for reading this epistle. Now share your feelings.

Becky

I agree there should be substitutions allowed with the type of restrictions you outlined. Last year I think it was abused but really if we just enforced the use of the photographer list which included those that wanted to join then I think we would solve most of the problems that were associated with substitutions.
