From the "Commish:" June 23, 2008:
Some of you may notice that I've added a list of games to be made up down below the standings.
I keep getting e-mails from people asking if the
standings are "right." Well, they are as right as we can get them
without making up scores and results. Individual teams wins and losses don't add up right now because of those missed games.
The program that built the schedule [Splendid City] has a way to track
games, and produce standings. When I get a game score, I put it into
the program and it spits out standings - I do have to put it in twice,
once for the division, and one for the overall rankings, but its not all that
difficult..
Anyway, on the left you'll see an Overall Seedings link - that
is the overall point total for each team based on scores e-mailed or
otherwise communicated to my office. You can also look at game scores by team, to see just what got reported.
You'll also notice a "Games to be Rescheduled" section.
Under the Delaware American Legion Baseball rules, managers have 3 days to arrange to make up a game before the Baseball Chairman has the power to impose a new game date. Honestly, I'd much prefer that the managers work out a better arrangement than what I'd pull out of the air.
Last year we had a team earn enough points to make the State
Tournament, but was denied participation because they had 4 forfeits.
That it happened was really not fair to the players on that team, they
were let down in part by their team mates, but also they were let down
by the re-schedule process.
This year, I am not going to impose a forfeit on a team that needs to
reschedule a game unless the managers totally fail to work out another
time and date. Yes, show up at a game site with 8 players and you will
get a forfeit, but call early enough, and I'll give you all a chance to
reschedule.
The point of all this is the issue of "deciding it on the field."
The kids play the games - their play should decide who makes the tournament, not some arbitrary rules.
Roy Lamberton, Chairman
