Disbanding teams while the season is running is always messy. No one wants that. It screws up everything. Admins will be always faced with bad options also the decision they will have to make, can't please everyone obviously.
For disbanding cases we thought of rules which
should be applied:
8.4 If a team receives 3 deflosses, they will disband and all their games will be a 3-0 defloss. It is up to the admins in the end.
8.5 A div 1 team can be disbanded by the admins at any time of the season and all of their games will be valued as defwin for their opponents. They will not get replaced by another team.
These rules got published before the season started, it's not like we created them 2 or 3 days ago. So if something was unclear (im assuming you all did read rules) ppl could have hinted us at unclear defined rules to avoid situations like this. We can't think of every possible case. This is why users should try to support/help the admins but, ...
all i can see is complaining or accusations when it's already too late. I also shouldn't have posted this decision, because it looks admin bias right now. Whatever...
h0bA benefitting the most from this decision obv, I can't deny that.
But it is also a fact, that it is not h0bA's fault Overdose getting inactive with a captain, who apparently isn't around recently - once again (heard he already quitted in 2 other leagues. He will have his reasons). It is also not h0bA's fault, that rules
must be followed and enforced. Exceptations
can be done, which leads me to Rooney's suggestion:
Rooney1878 wrote:Why dont we keep all the reults from the 1st leg? Overdose played all 7 games in the 1st leg, so everybody had the chance to play one time against them under fair circumstances. Would be fair if only the games of the 2nd leg get judged as 3-0 defwins, to keep the competition fair.
It rly makes no sense to delete their 1st leg results.
Actually that would be the best idea, if it was true
http://fm-haxball.co.uk/index.php?page=fixture&id=817viewtopic.php?f=297&t=4846This game was a 1st leg game. Overdose could have won it and would have made the relegation "competition" harder/tighter for IKEA for instance.
To sum it up:
1) Know your duty and read rules. Don't be too demanding, help the admins instead to improve our community in any way you can. This could lead to less complaints.
2) There is no ideal solution yet there should be
ONE decision which can be applied to further cases. If coming ssn a team gets disbanded with 2 or 3 missing games to finish 1st leg, all of their games should be valued as defloss aswell. Instead of having endless discussions every time, 1 rule should be enforced for similar cases.(precedent)
3) Rooney is absolutely right if all 1st leg games were played by OD, we could have gone by his solution (we've talked about this solution too btw), because that would have been the most logical and fairest (only h0bA "complaints" and the rest would be happy) option. Maybe some teams, who are affected by relegation might complain aswell.
4) For coming seasons we can add/edit a rule with Rooney's proposal. (In case of all 1st leg games got played and a team gets disbanded)
