Here are some points concerning reporting league results:

1. It is the winning teams responsibility to circle your wins on the results sheet. We cannot give you the proper credit for wins if it is not marked on the sheet.

2. Please keep the sheet as neat as possible to make it easier to see your results. You would be amazed at ho0w messy and confusing some of the sheets are that we get back.

3. If you do need to make a change please write a note on the sheet explaining what happened.

4. Do not write any extra info on the sheets such as scores or your record. We only go by what is circled and do not pay attention to any written records.

5. When a team forfeits every team on the net gets 2 wins against that team. The 2 teams should then play each other 4 games. On a 4 or 5-team pool, each teams gets 1 win against the forfeiting team. Then continue to play the schedule until dark

6. Not every game listed on the schedule needs to be played. We have it set up so that you can play 6 games a night. During the first half of the season you should get all the games in but later on as the sun sets early you may get not get all of the games in. That is OK, the standings are based on winning percentage and not total games played

7. The schedule sheet will list a time after which no new games can be started. If the weather is bad it may be darker earlier so some teams may not want to play the last game due to darkness. We expect that all teams act like responsible adults and can figure when it is not feasible to play due to darkness.

8. If you do not get all of your games in please make sure that they are crossed off on the schedule sheet. Write darkness next to any games not played.

9. MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL: PLEASE CHECK YOUR RESULTS AT THE END OF THE NIGHT TO MAKE SURE ALL OF YOUR RESULTS ARE LISTED CORRECTLY.

10. To inquire about a results discrepancy please send an email to eevb@i-2000.com mentioning:

a. The night you play

b. Your division and captain

c. What the question is

d. I will then refer the message to the person handling results for your league. That person will then check and correct the result or bring the result sheet to the next league night to show you what was recorded.
