I do believe the Pylons could not field a team and the Aints were default winners.
Check site tonight for confirmation.

I would like to call out the Wheel City Garden Gnomes for not showing up to our playoff game. Both the South Side Trojans and the Aints won our first playoff games by default because the teams didn't even bother to show up. Why pay your registration, play all season and then not show up to the playoffs? Hey Gnomes, the least you guys could've done is phone our team rep and tell everybody not to show up. What was your reason again? You went to a vikings game or something? I hope you guys get penalized some way some how because that's bull shit to not show up.

That sucks. Oh well they paid to play, it's their money i suppose. What can you do.

Not cool at all how the pylons did not show up for their playoff game. Funny how they showed up for the the round previous. Totally takes the fun out of the game. Something should be done. In the Labatt Super Men's BBall that I play in, if a team skips out on a game, their credit card for the team who pulls the no show gets ding'd $100 and gets sent to the other team. Not saying that we want money from them, but does this league do something to enourage people to show for their games. Especially for a playoff?

During the regular season if a team does not show up they do get fined $50 and the team that did show up gets a refund. I am not sure how much it is. I am not sure if it applies to the playoffs though. If not maybe it should.

Greg,
The Pylons appoligize for defaulting. We didn't miss a game all year but due to over half our team having previous commitments for Saturday, we unfortunately had to default. I found this out immediatley after our win over the Money Shots and tried to set up a game for you guys to play them in our absence (I didn't want to short you guys on a game as I wouldn't want that to happen to us). I had an ok from the prez (he was at the game) for the switch and an initial yes from the Money Shots that they would play. The next day they changed their mind so there was nothing more I could do.
Good luck the rest of the way through.

We have one game during the season where the other team couldn't field a team, we didn't get any money. I dont know if the rule applies to all divisions or all except new divs.

I'm sure if you contact the team rep and at least let them know your team isn't going to show up, then you don't waste everyones time!! I'm sure that their is something you could have done to prevent a whole team from showing up to play nobody...it sucks when that happens.

Dennis,
I did email the team rep so they wouldn't waste their time. If he didn't relay that on to his players than that's their issue.

The money due to teams for default fines are collectable at the AGM in december. So show up to the AGM and get your money.

We had a game that was defaulted early in the season. The other team had notified the league but our team was still only notified the day before. They tried to reschedule the game, but the other team just took the default loss. We didn't get a game or a default fee because it was deemed the other team had given enough notice. But we still got short changed by a game and didn't get anything. Can we collect our default fine at the AGM as well?

Well the way i'd see it is if you default, the other team should still get a refund regardless of having notice. That's the price you pay. Not fair to the team that can play but aren't able to.

KIP,
Wheel City sent an email to the president on Wednesday before the game letting him know that we would have to forfeit because we only had 5 players in Winnipeg on the Saturday of the game. The rest of us were in New York on a trip that had been planned months ago.
I also stated in the email that we would be more than happy to disqualify ourselves from our first round win over Venom if that would allow them to play instead of us.
Sorry that no one got in touch with you about this, that was not our intent.
Matt
