Redspottedhanky GP Game

John_Aloisi

Ridiculous rules on this game. I read the rules at least 10 times and made my best guess at what they meant and of course ended up being wrong.

I had too many losses to win anything but I had a great strategy and was ranked 1st at one point but that strategy has died with the postponed matches.

They must have some really dumb people running this not to think ahead and clarify how rain delays/postponed matches would affect transfers and scoring.

Having more problems with 2 further players not being awarded points eg Sloane Stevens

I assume this must be because it was a match that should have been played on Friday so selecting her around 1am on Saturday for the match played on Saturday means I don't get the points again

Really annoying as its not easy to find out which matches have been delayed

I think the Sloane Stephens game started on Friday evening though, so was already in progress when you did the transfer?

The S Stephens match just didn't start on Friday like it should have done and wasn't in progress, it was just postponed until Saturday.

This Friday/Saturday delay actually affected 14 players - 4 men's matches and 3 women's matches

There was a similar problem for 16 players with a Thursday to Friday shift, with 3 women's and 5 men's (3 of which were actually in progress)

As for my previously posted issue that I contacted them about, DUSTIN BROWN, he's still not back in the game - despite having won 2 and amassing 44 points in the first 2 rounds ("fortunately" he lost in round 3)

the 2nd weekly prize competition is going to be interesting

the choices are now pretty limited so I suspect there will be quite a few people ending up with the same top score in the 2nd week

wonder if they will give everybody a prize ?

You're right, it's going to be tight this week. Three of the seven categories are now effectively over, with one more (possibly two) joining them after today's matches.

Anyway, in the event of a tie, the prize goes to whoever registered first.

I think it's the standard tie-breaker mechanism for these games.

I have the same issue with mine thriftymanc. I originally assumed the players out would no longer show on the pick list but seems not, quite odd.
