Scheduling isn&#039;t really ever fun.&nbsp; Sometimes it goes well and sometimes it doesn&#039;t, but there&#039;s almost always a lot of work involved behind the scenes, and an insane amount of harassing that goes along with it.<br /><br />[color=red][size=24pt]This is a horrible fucking way to do it[/size][/color]<br /><br />Players, tell your captain as soon as you can (preferably right after your game is played) what your availability for [size=24pt]THE ENTIRE FUCKING WEEK[/size] is.&nbsp; &quot;Saturday night, maybe Friday night&quot; is completely failing!&nbsp; You&#039;re around, your captain is around, there&#039;s no excuse for not doing it.&nbsp; If anyone has to chase you even a little bit, you&#039;ve failed.&nbsp; If anything changes, tell your Captain as soon as possible, so they have the best chance of changing the game time.&nbsp; I can&#039;t stress this enough, for every day in the week, tell your captain what days and times you can play.&nbsp; Keep in mind that an IDL game really only occupies your time for 30-45 minutes.<br /><br />Captains:<br /><br />Tell us if your players are failing to give you availability.&nbsp; We will harass rudely.<br /><br />Please don&#039;t give us times where you&#039;re compromising.&nbsp; If we need to start compromising because no times overlap, then we&#039;ll tell you.&nbsp; But we don&#039;t want to start off that way.<br /><br />Please be around to help us iron out issues.&nbsp; If that means giving us an e-mail address or using forum PMs then that&#039;s fine - not everyone can be on IRC all the time - but please answer them promptly.<br /><br />If we ask you to check w/ your team, we mean right then.&nbsp; Not tomorrow, and fucking shit not any later.&nbsp; This is especially true if we&#039;re behind schedule (i.e., like we were this week).&nbsp; It&#039;s understandable that you can&#039;t always check w/ your team immediately - we know you can&#039;t control when your players show up, but we really need to know what&#039;s up quickly so we can work things out.<br /><br />Goddamn don&#039;t ever give us just 1 day of availability.&nbsp; If we don&#039;t outright let the other team pick whatever time they want, we will at least be biased against you for being a shithead.<br /><br />We greatly prefer weekend games because they give teams the most time to practice.&nbsp; Please do your best to give us at least 1 weekend night where you can play (weekends being Friday, Saturday and Sunday).&nbsp; If you know in advance you are unable to do this, please tell us as soon as possible, because then we&#039;re automatically short on time, and your opponent needs to be aware so they can practice in the meantime - and not count on the weekend for that.
