  • TWL Postponements

    As a player, I play actively in three different leagues, and act as a squad captain in two of them. I'm yet to come across such a stiff league structure as in TWL. I'll explain the situation briefly.

    This upcoming weekend, including monday, is a national holiday in Finland, probably the biggest party of the year - at least alcohol-wise. I know for a fact that none of our Finnish (key) players, including all of our captains (even Sika is going outside!!11), want to spend the evening sitting by their computer playing TWL. Plus the abscence of a few non-Finns.

    I'm not meaning we should postpone the season, god forbid, we'd start at 2009, but I'd like to postpone -FINAL-'s TWL games for this weekend for a later date. There's a "rematch" round after the regular season, which would fit perfectly for our needs. All of the squads might have to play a game then, so it wouldn't make a huge difference.

    As I stated earlier, the lack of a possibility to reschedule one match (per league) is unheard of, all the other league structures include it, and frankly not very user-friendly when situations as this appear.

    It's not a big issue, and I know "it's only one round" but one round might have a huge impact in the end, especially when our opponents aren't the easiest but in fact our main rivalries (Quicksand in LD, Sk8 in LJ and Syndicate in LB). I'm not asking for much, and my request is (at least according to my logic) based on valid facts. It wouldn't hurt anyone, and we'd be able to put 100% into TWL, that's what the league deserves - not Joe playing WBs for us when no one else shows..

    re

    talk it over with staff and the squad your facing. Too be honest, i dont believe this is a valid reason for postponing matches IMHO.

      This is a valid request and should be treated as such. Let -Final- play their week one matches during makeup week.

        I can understand where you're coming from, but as a player i'd have to say play with your benchers. its not fair for the rest of the squads, because squad will come to TWL ops and say "my squaddies cant make it because _______" Noone has to go out on this night, maybe try schedueling it on the day the holiday isnt (can be a saturday or sunday, right?) or at an early time.
        the price is right, bitch.

            I seem to recall the 4th of July not being postponed for any American squad one season. Life went on, the games were still played. I don't see the reason for special treatment.

              Well... like Punk said, TWL wasn't delayed for the 4th of July American holiday. I'm not an American but most of my squad is, and I know lots of people were gone.

              I doubt it's going to get delayed.

                Disoblige also has a number of Finnish players as I'm sure do a lot of other squads. Wouldn't really mind the week being postponed.

                    I want to start the season off with a win vs a supposedly good squad. taking our bye week in week 2 vs squad!! isnt what I had in mind

                    EDIT: i dont blame you guys for not wanting to play us so soon, really.

                    EDIT 2: I can think of a few times when the majority of my squad will be out for the whole weekend, namely when school lets out and theyre out celebrating. Your country is the size of my damn state, if staff allowed people to reschedule for bs reasons like this well then youre right we'd still be on this season in 2009

                      with a 10 game regular season does it really matter if you lose one because of a bad showup? who cares whether you get 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in your group. you still have to beat the same squads in the end to win league anyway, and its not like there is any chance of you guys not making playoffs.
                      There exists a fine line between hard partying and destitution.

                        Not that I really care (sure I'd like to have it postponed, I want to play some games myself :P), but we've had a shitload of "american" holidays (which we euros don't really celebrate at all) postponed; thanksgiving day, easter, you name it - we had it.

                            I'm sure deferring the match schedule would take unnecessary work on behalf of TWL staff. Why not just deploy your US lineup, even if it's not as strong?
