Will be reinstating these games at the next standings update.

EVUNIT24 has not played any games and has been generally unresponsive. cowon has been reasonable and generally polite in private communications, although he did have his brother hurl insults at us on the boards late last night. Despite that, halifax and I have agreed to stick to the decision we made last evening and reinstate cowon as manager of the Rangers effective immediately. Good luck to the Rangers and we'll see everyone in the playoffs.

Appreciate the kind words. As it happens a decision was made to re-insert cowan as manager of the Rangers last night, despite the deadlines he missed as previous manager of the team, because we do think he will do a better job than the replacement manager we tried. But your insults are appreciated regardless.

A couple of general responses. - I notice that when folks have really strong opinions about how people not playing their games can be fixed, it is often a result of a combination of their own above-average enthusiasm and commitment to the leagues, and not really getting their head around the fact that this community numbers in the "dozens", not the "hundreds" or "thousands" or "etc.". We haven't really hit the magical tipping point where intellectually complicated schemes are going to work, despite the logic on paper. Because at the end of the day the person thinking up the plan usually doesn't factor in that 90% of the rest of the community isn't as fired up about video game leagues as he is. - In MLB, teams that lose in extra innings get no points. In the NFL, teams that lose in sudden death overtime, after losing the coin flip and never even touching the ball on offense, get no points. In the NBA, teams that lose in quadruple overtime get no points. These leagues have managed to survive on the concept that two competitors battle until there is a winner and a loser, and that the loser of the game is treated the same no matter how much of a moral victory he may have earned along the way. I understand that there are folks out there who want "partial credit", but not everyone here needs that.

Wow, a tie. A black swan. Logged.
