Important query regarding Week 8

(1/7) > >>

SwissToni:
At the end of the tournament Wales had beaten Scotland by 1 point and therefore closed the gap from Scotland to 3 points overall. Having looked at the result it appears that some "unregistered" player finished 22nd meaning that the 23rd and 24th that Scotland got becomes 22nd and 23rd an means the players earn 4 points between them rather than 2. This obviously means Wales actually end up losing to Scotland by 1 point and actually increasing our overall deficit to 5 points.

As one of my players quite rightly said, people"s positions should be people"s positions. While playing, players make decisions based on how many players are left, point jumps/bubbles, and also (on the final table) how many points their opponent"s teams have already scored. If an unregistered player finishes 3rd and scoops $250 would that money be passed on to the 4th place finisher along with their points? No. Forgive the essay but I (along with a number of my team) feel particularly hard done by.

I posted this on the Facebook page and was asked (I assume by Des) to post it on the forum so the guys can look into it.

Regards

Henry

AMRN:
Haven"t yet got close enough to the points for this to be an issue for me, but in my opinion, Henry"s points are entirely valid. Decisions points crop up in the tourney that have substantial influence on decisions - surely we can"t have players finishing positions changing after the event.

Those unregistered players have occupied an important points scoring position - those points should just be null and void, not allocated to someone else, imo.

Des:
I think it was Rich that suggested you post it Henry, but it"s very valid feedback. 

My own thoughts are that the scoring was as per the league rules at the start of the season, so should stand in this instance - however it is something APAT could address for the next league if players are in agreement.

We would welcome views.

TightEnd:
I requested you post Henry, easier to look into it on here than on a facebook comments box.

Des has seen it as you can see, we"ll discuss.

All views welcome

These are my feelings precisely. I understand where you are coming from Des but I just think it is hugely unfair for player"s finishing positions to change after the event in which players have had to make decisions based on information they assume to be accurate
