    Paul,

    Good question.  Each week, teams must police themselves and each other in order to assess forfeits, because it's difficult to determine whose "fault" it was that a match wasn't played.  If Team A was making a good-faith effort to set up a match and was unable to reach Team B, then Team A should be awarded the win.  However, if both teams made a good-faith effort and the timing just didn't work (or if neither team attempted to set up the match), then both teams will be awarded a loss and earn 0 points for the forfeited match.

    At present, any match that wasn't played in July has been scored as a loss for both teams involved (in other words, your club was awarded 0 points for the two matches you didn't play).  Think of this outcome (both teams get 0 points) as the default outcome for an unplayed match.  In the event that a match went unplayed because one team was trying hard to make it happen and couldn't get a response from the other team, let me know and I will manually adjust the standings page to account for the change. 

    Does that work for you?

    Thanks,

    Jeff

    Thanks, Paul.  So let me summarize the proposal from Valley of the Sun re: unplayed matches in July:

    • Match Play:  Valley of the Sun player reached out to Live and Let Golf player, but received no response.

    • Alt Shot 1:  Both teams made good-faith efforts to set up the match, but were unable to find a time that worked for everyone.

    • Alt Shot 2: Match was played, but Valley of the Sun used a substitute player that was not originally signed up for the tournament.  

    If the above is accurate, I would argue the outcomes should be as follows:

    • Match Play: Valley of the Sun wins, Live and Let Golf loses (i.e., 3 points to VotS)
    • Alt Shot 1: Both teams take the loss (i.e., no points awarded)
    • Alt Shot 2: Whoever won the match should receive the win and 4 points.

    If a representative from Live and Let Golf wants to weigh in, that would be helpful.  Otherwise, pending Mark's agreement, I would propose we update the scores based on the suggestion above.  

    Also, just so I'm clear about everything, has the outcome of the Alt Shot 2 match (the one with CrazyCarla9) already been entered into the spreadsheet?  I can't recall.

    Thanks,

    Jeff
