Admin Notice S36 Rules and serial_thrilla Thread

[TRUMAN#1]

Kennedy Parker I refer to the infraction listed above and the penalty that has been incorrectly applied.

There was no breach of the current rules as they are written as follows:


4B) Squad Changes

Any changes to the previous season's final squad must be listed in the current season's initial squad submission denoting the additions as "INs" and subtractions as "OUTs".

This has been done, as evidenced by our current squad listing. No dispute there.

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.

Which we have done. A big tick for us again.

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

Which we have done. Another criteria met.

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

We used the initial post and altered that, as is the preferred method. Once again complied with the rules.


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

And here we seemed to have reached the point of contention. The squad change is only considered complete when the (in this case) permanently banned player is removed from the list and also noted as an out. This is further addressed below.


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.

As you noted yourself, Sun Ra was removed from our submitted squad and we still meet the minimum number of eligible players for this season. Once again, within the rules.


So the only point of contention is at what time the change to the squad needs to be finalised. I have searched and failed to find where 6.05am on a Monday morning is mentioned in the rules as the cut off for squad changes.

As we were in the process of completing the squad changes as required by the rules, and within the timeframe required, it seems that an arbitrary cut off time has been used as a "gotcha" moment. In contravention of the accepted practice of making squad changes prior to the following weeks team submission deadline of Thursday nights, it seems the punishment meted out to the Baghdad Bombers was very premature and done erroneously.

We respectfully request you withdraw the penalties consisting of a strike and warning and save them for when we are genuinely in the wrong.

He has to look in the mirror and realise what he has become, nothing we do will top that.

Patience grasshopper, we know we are the reason you are so entertained in this place, seems you have jumped the gun a little and failed to understand what was said. The 5.00pm mentioned was the time given for a withdrawal of the charge to avoid an appeal, not a deadline for the appeal to be lodged.

The Baghdad Bombers will be appealing this gross overreach unless the charge is withdrawn by 5.00pm EDST tonight.

Sheeeeesh, no wonder Cereal_vanilla is able to get away with frivolous charges without challenge from the non-thinkers in here.

If you’re unable to defend your club from incompetence charges without resorting to unoriginal insults—- maybe you should ask another member of your LG to be in charge of the appeal process

Hardly, he's one of the only reasons the league has rules and structure instead of the casual vibe of the thing the Bombers want.

He should probably get a medal tbh

Some of us can walk and chew gum at the same time.

This is not exactly the High Court of Australia

 

[Senor M]

You’re correct.

It appears that 11 clubs have figured out how not to break the SFA rules every other week.

Not sure why your club struggles to demonstrate any level of basic understanding of the rules

Look it's all good, someone has to play anti establishment, and I've decided it's me.

You’re not doing your club any favours mate.

The purpose of this thread isn’t for silly banter, it’s not a match thread.

If my club made the mistakes that yours did, I’d be questioning my LG, not blaming the rules

You’re correct.

It has been known to happen accidentally and on rare occasions.

Are we one of the 11? Hope you counted us in as this is our first "breach" of the season.

We do understand them, hence the appeal for a sanction that doesn't follow the rules.

Glad you are finally starting to understand us a little better.

If the Bombers understood the rules then Sun Ra would still be posting amongst us mate

If only it was that simple.

 

[Senor M]

Follow the posting standards & don’t get permabanned.

Guess what? It is that simple mate.

 

[Jabba73]

No, you are implying that no Bomber knows the rules because Sun Ra was banned.

That is as stupid as me saying you don't know the rules because one of your teammates was permabanned.
