Rules The Tribunal: Hearing Room - Season 25

[Loonerty]

No.

The rule in 4a which lists naming an ineligible player is referring to in a team sheet. That lists it as medium impact and a one week suspension.

There is no defined penalty for incorrectly signing a player.

Interesting.

In that case I am going to stick by Cloud_'s judgement and stay with guilty but with strong encouragement we look into making punishments transparent.

 

[Kennedy Parker]

I interpreted listing an ineligible player as applicable to both squad and team. It's under the team submission section but so is failing to submit a squad.

Rule 3C defines what is and isn't an ineligible player.

 

[Ant Bear]

I see. Is there a punishment listed somewhere for listing an ineligible player in the squad?

In section 3A it says this

Captains will serve a suspension (set by the administrator) for games played without a correct squad

So the penalty is at Cloud_'s discretion.

 

[Loonerty]

So the penalty is at Cloud_'s discretion.

They didn't play a game without the correct squad, did they?

 

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

It really is amazing how few rules I've broken.

 

[Kennedy Parker]

They didn't play a game without the correct squad, did they?

Yeah if we go by that rule then there is no penalty to be applied.

 

[Ant Bear]

They didn't play a game without the correct squad, did they?

Well, yes. G4L was on their squad illegally when they played last Sunday. He just wasn't in their team. Therefore, they broke squad submission rules but not team submission rules.

 

[Loonerty]

Well, yes. G4L was on their squad illegally when they played last Sunday. He just wasn't in their team. Therefore, they broke squad submission rules but not team submission rules.

Wasn't sure on the timing there.

 

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

And so...

Time to disband this hellabaloo and let the good sheriff deal with me and my partner as they may.

 

[Wosh]

One week is fair
G4L didnt fill out a form before he was listed, but he didnt play so 2 weeks harsh.

I'm sorry if I've missed something, been flat out the last 2 days.
I just think its a lot more fun if we punish people when they f*** up, missing a game and wearing a stupid av is fair. If the penalty was loss of points then we should be scrutinising it a lot more closely of course, but for these smaller things we should be able to poke and laugh.

 

[fitzroybowiedog]

agreed

 

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

Well siblings, it's been a grand one.

To AngryRanga,

To the rest of you,

GAGF.

It's time to put the chairs on the wagon, see you when next the hair's in the butter.

Well I thought this was in the committee room

Out here it's just throw the book at the prick!
2 weeks plus loss of all beancoins.

Lots of candidates for my ignore list

 

[cats2rise]

Can I abstain from voting? A rule is a rule but it’s also ambiguous.

 

[cats2rise]

Although If I have to... guilty. Kind of.

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Can I abstain from voting? A rule is a rule but it’s also ambiguous.

Yes.

 

[Kennedy Parker]

The result of the Las Vegas Bears appeal:

The Sweet FA Tribunal has found Bears co-captains JoshWoodenSpoon and AngryRanga guilty as charged with a majority vote of 7-2, a medium impact breach of 4A will see in a 1 game suspension for both.

Case Closed

Amendments to the rules may occur in the near future for sake of clarification.

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Tribunal is in Session

We're going to have two simultaneous hearings as there are two cases this week.

CASE 3: HARD WORKING EMU USES INCORRECT ACRONYMS, CATS TO BE WHACKED

In Round 4, the Mount Buller Demons are found to have used incorrect positional acronyms when naming their official team sheet as specified by Rule 4B:

4B - Sheet Positioning
Team sheets must be displayed with the following positional acronyms (shown as bolded below). No other format will be accepted:

B: Back Pocket (BP) - Full Back (FB) - Back Pocket (BP)
HB: Half Back Flank (HBF) - Centre Half Back (CHB) - Half Back Flank (HBF)
C: Wing (W) - Centre (C) - Wing (W)
HF: Half Forward Flank (HFF) - Centre Half Forward (CHF) - Half Forward Flank (HFF)
F: Forward Pocket (FP) - Full Forward (FF) - Forward Pocket (FP)
R: Ruck (Ruck) - Ruck Rover (RR) - Rover (R)

INT: Interchange (INT) - Interchange (INT)

Please note: The bracketed acronyms, and only these, MUST be used when signifying a players positional change.


In the quote below, Demons vice-captain sante who was posting in the stead of captain cats2rise used HF for changed to/from the Half Forward Flank and HB for changes to/from the Half Back Flank, instead of HFF and HBF as specified in the rules. Errors shown below in bold and underlined.

Mount Buller Demons Official Team Sheet - Round 4 #MBD25

B: fleabitten - deaneus - brucetiki
HB: Tarkyn_24 - Oddhawk - roo2macca
C: DemonJim - sante - Freo Hammer 21
HF: sausageroll - Van_Dyke - Thetrader15
F: fancyscum - Headless - Proper Gander
R: cooney - Yakker - RodneyDangerfield
INT: cats2rise – lanky_wes


Changes:
DemonJim from CHF to W
fancyscum from W to FP
Thetrader15 from FP to HF
Tarkyn_24 from HF to HB
fleabitten from HB to BP
lanky_wes from BP to INT
deaneus from INT to FB
Van_Dyke from FB to CHF
sausageroll from HF to HF

This means the Demons have committed a low impact team sheet offense and the captain to rise will incur a penalty decided by the tribunal.

CASE 4: BEARS' DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO THWART DOCTOR GERO BACKFIRES

In Round 4, the Bears have been found to have made a spelling error after failing to omit the @ symbol in from of Striker475 in their latest official team sheet posted by Matera92 in the stead of JoshWoodenSpoon and AngryRanga. To add further insult, the latter team sheet over-rided an earlier and correct team sheet posted by Doctor Gero.

*ahem*

FINALLLY, MATERA92 HAS COME BACK TO ABDU PRISON!

[Loonerty]

Well I think it's only fair that the Furies should forfeit their next match.

 

[haydo]

Boy that's tough on the Bears. I don't think an @ symbol should require any sort of penalty. The Demons on the other hand should, acronyms are a big part of knowing the changes for the simmer committee while removing an @ sign isn't

That and it was sante

An example needs to be made

 

[KohPhi]

The Bears have to play with Gym4Life so that should be punishment enough.

 

[Golumless]

I'm happy for both to get avatars given to them for the week.
