I was eager to get today's game underway. I'd been at work all night supporting a large technical migration and was on my third wind. I needed a distraction. And there is no better distraction than good old fashioned civilized brutality. Actually, there is a better distraction but it usually only last twenty minutes.
But alas, no Official distractions today. The home team had to forfeit for a lack of players. This is the same team weak team I worked during week 5. Turns out the team only suited 14 players. None of the starting backfield and none of the skilled players showed-up. They didn't even bother to call the coach.
So here is the poor coach (who is the owner) who has to pay for the field, pay us for our time, and apparently pay a $500 fine for a forfeit. I felt sorry for the guy in the regard, but it seems to me his team is trying to tell him something. The Coach blamed the 'other' league for allowing a new expansion team into the area. If the guy is losing players, then I think there is another root cause.
I missed a timely week 7 update, but will have one shortly.
