So with Dante & his wife busy with the move back to Europe , I've been asked to tally the votes and make some
rulings on the Week 3 competition.
If you have any disagreements about my decisions please take it up
with the commissioner (Dante).
Red Division:
Andrew wins 3-1 over Nathan but he did not vote on any other
matches, so he also adds a loss to his record.
Dan wins 4-1 over Travis
Elijah vs. Alex draws a loss for both as Elijah posted late and
Alex was a no show. But great effort to Elijah for still getting something out
and also voting on all the matches.
Noah wins 3-0 over Jonathan's no show. *** For the record, Noah did not
vote on all 4 matches, which technically adds a loss but I will not enforce
this rule at this time. If you disagree, inquire with the commissioner.
Remember to vote on ALL 4 matches from the opposite division,
regardless if even one of the players is a no show. It is important to vote on all matches because someone could lose a match simply because not everyone voted.
White Division:
Aaron wins 4-0 over Christian's no show. *** Aaron also did not vote on
all 4 matches but no enforcement of the rule at this time.
Charlie wins 3-1 over William. *** Charlie also
did not vote on all 4 matches but no enforcement of the rule at this time.
WARNING!!! William was way over the allotted 500 words
but since he lost, it was not enforced. Beware of the commissioner enforcing this
in the future. The commissioner will not word count like a hawk but if you’re
obviously way over, it will be enforced. If another competitor wants to contest
a loss because they believe their opponent was over 500 words, please contact
the commissioner.
Dante wins 3-2 over Glen. *** Dante also did not vote on all 4
matches but no enforcement of the rule at this time.
Mitchell wins 2-0 over David's no show. *** Mitchell also did not vote on all
4 matches but no enforcement of the rule at this time.
I thought I posted on time. Gutted. I may have to step down as parish ministry and a full time PhD are quite consuming...

ReplyDeleteI only vote on legal matches. The one I did not vote on was between a no show and a late poster. Who do I vote for in such a circumstance? I am at a loss.
ReplyDeleteActually, Aaron you're 3-0. So you don't have any losses to worry about :)
DeleteThanks Glen, for putting all that together!
ReplyDeleteSince we haven't been dinging people for not voting, I feel bad about only punishing Andrew for his lack of voting prowess...
so let's say just give him a warning, but say for this week and the future:
-VOTE FOR ALL AVAILABLE STORIES TO VOTE ON.
-IF NEITHER PLAYER HAS SUBMITTED A STORY BY MIDNIGHT ON SUNDAY, PLAYERS DO NOT NEED TO VOTE ON EITHER STORY, AS BOTH PLAYERS WILL TAKE A LOSS FOR THE WEEK.
-IF A PLAYER FAILS TO VOTE ON ALL AVAILABLE MATCHES, THEY WILL BE GIVEN A WARNING, IF THEY DON'T VOTE ON ANYTHING, THEY WILL RECEIVE AN ADDITIONAL LOSS FOR NOT VOTING.
Elijah, sorry about the loss, but that's how it goes... we gotta draw the line somewhere. Why don't you just change the label for the story to Week 4, since you're not getting any credit for that story as it stands now?
ReplyDeleteHow do I know which authors are facing each other? Also when is the cutoff for voting?
ReplyDeleteCheck the schedules page of the blog for matchups & Midnite on Tuesday is cutoff for voting.
DeleteAnd do I vote on every pairing that isn't me or just the other division pairs?
