I just want to chime in on the 3v3 forfeiture rule. While last season had a ridiculously high amount of forfeits, the season before it (Winter 2011) had 1 forfeits across 63 games (playoffs included). Summer 2010 had 1 forfeit across 41 games (playoffs included).<br /><br />[center][b]SEASONS WITH ALL 3v3 &amp; FORFEIT CLAUSE[/b]<br />Summer 2010 - 1/41 - 2.4%<br />Winter 2011 - 1/63 - 1.6%<br />Summer 2011 - 10/63 - 15.9%[/center]<br /><br />I don&#039;t think there is any problem with the rule. Now, I&#039;m not trying to place blame on anybody here, especially since the league went through a transition period moments before last season kicked off, but the fact of the matter is that the way the IDL performs is directly linked to those managing the league. <br /><br />I can tell you that being in charge of this league is akin to being a babysitter. As commissioner, I practically felt like I was captaining all 12 teams because I wanted to always know who was doing what on each team in order to ensure that everyone&#039;s schedules and obligations were being fulfilled. It is simply the nature of the position.<br /><br />Removing the forfeiture rule is unfair to other teams who DO follow the rules and make time to follow up on their responsibilities to this league. 1/3 of my team&#039;s games last season were forfeits, three games which we all showed up for while the other teams had no intention of. That is selfish and disrespectful to any players on the forfeiting team&#039;s roster that actually showed up, the opposing team who set aside time to make this happen (which pisses me off the most when I put my own time aside for nothing), and the rest of the teams who&#039;s standings and playoff aspirations are directly affected. Getting rid of forfeits is not the answer. Why should my team, who shows up to every game and likely already showed up to the game that was unplayed, be punished later in the season by having to play two games in a week to make up for our opponent&#039;s issues? Why should compliant teams be forced to suffer more to appease crap squads?<br /><br />This can be solved by swift league action. Enforce the league rules. Break down bad teams. Make sure even games are played.
