Jwood 0 Posted September 28, 2010 That is correct, but Ma and Urine Trouble and The Grinders are new so they probably were not aware of that rule unless someone specifically told them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thin Spirit 0 Posted October 3, 2010 I have been out of town most of the week and was just coming on the forum to comment on this. How can this be fixed? I should be 2-1 (probably for the first time since I have taken over this crappy team, three years ago ). I don't really want to just sweep this under the rug - can the standings be changed?

adam smitty 0 Posted October 8, 2010 I'm sure he just wasn't aware of the rule about tie breakers but I agree that it shouldnt be just swept away. Would just leaving that game in a tie with no winner or loser be an acceptable outcome for you guys? I feel like winning or losing a game based on something like this is kind of a stretch.

Jwood 0 Posted October 8, 2010 I think the game should be given to Thin Spirit for 2 reasons, mainly reason #2. 1) Even though Meatloaf didn't know the rule, he still started an illegal tiebreaker. Morally, it's not his fault because no one told him of this quirky rule, Legally, it is just the fact of the matter and the rule is written in our bylaws (i hope), which each player is responsible for knowing. 2) I was looking at the bench lineups and the only non-starter tiebreaker he could have started that would have even TIED with Vince Young was David Buehler and I don't think I've EVER seen anyone start a kicker as a tiebreaker. So even had he started a "non-starter" tiebreaker, there is a 99% chance it would not have been a kicker that misses as many field goals as he makes. Thin Spirit would have won the game anyway on a tiebreaker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thin Spirit 0 Posted October 9, 2010 I'm not going to complain or cause trouble if you decide otherwise, but I think I should be awarded the win. If you are joining a new league it is your duty to read the rules/scoring laid out for that league. That win puts me at 2-2 and in the thick of things in my division, where every win is going to count this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
