| Rainout/forfeit/cat fight drives Commish to drink |
While two other scheduled Monday games (FAM-TFI, P&P-NCC) were postponed early in the day because it was cold and raining heavily – those wusses – the Art vs. Tambourine game was not officially cancelled until, apparently, never.
The Commissioner has reviewed the matter, but reports that he has not received a 300-word narrative from either captain outlining the circumstances of the disagreement as to whether the game was supposed to be played, wasn’t supposed to be played, should have been a forfeit, or should have only been played by anyone stupid enough to ride a bike through those conditions for the sole pleasure of drinking outside in the rain rather than inside with Phyllis.
As a reminder, and this can be found in the updated version of league rules (v.2.7, 2012), all matters which are brought before the commissioner must be accompanied by a 300-word narrative. Personal style on single- or double-spacing, but those narratives must be delivered to the port-a-potty outside the abandoned snack bar on Edgeley 8 within 48 (forty-eight) hours after the Initial Complaint Report (ICR) is faxed to the league office.
As a result, the commissioner has ruled that BOTH teams will be credited with a forfeit loss as a result of Monday night. If either party wishes to contest that ruling, a copy of the ISO form (I Strenuously Object!) will need to be filed before the final waning of the gibbous moon.
In other (actual) results:
South Philly Tap Room 21, Green Tambourine 7: Well, they showed up for that one, Ray. Tap remained locked in first-place tie with Catahoula, heading into top of the standings showdown in Week 6.
Bishop’s Collar 8, Fleisher Art Memorial 5: The Collar continued to climb out of its early-season ditch with a narrow win over a FAM team that had been averaging 16 runs per game.
Catahoula Refugees 23, Zoo 15: There is really nothing clever to say about this one.
