fcpfc week 3 schedule

[custom36 5]

Umm.. This doesnt make any sense.It says week 3. starting super bowl sunday.if my math skills are correct, week 3 is the last week, 3 players a week, X 3 weeks is 9 players.Myself, and Pupsta havent even played.How is this possible? This should technically be week 2, and these teams schedules should be 100% different

For the 9th time, remember that the the schedules were all pushed back a week because the tech guys didn't get tickets out in time. Then, the first two matches of week 1 were cancelled and rescheduled for the end of march. We've been over this, Royal.

*snip long, but accurate rant*

He does have a legitimate complaint here, but at least a few of them (no emails, etc) seem to be more of a problem with his captain then the organizers. I have no clue who is captain is, so I'm not taking a shot at them. (unless it's Royal of course ;-) ). I completely agree with what PL said regarding the tournament being moved to FCP from Stars. Before that was done, players like PL who didn't want to play on FCP (I can't imagine why s/w), should have been given the option to be replaced. Patrick

Well, I guess I'll put my two cents in with regard to the schedule. I'm not sure how the other captains have handled their schedule, but from some of the posts it would appear that they are not handling it at all...just asking who can play when and winging it. I even remember someone saying they're too lazy to PM everyone so post whenever you can play. Well, if your too damn lazy to PM 8 people, you shouldn't be a captain.I have already laid out the team schedule for the entire season and I"ve probably PM'd my team at least 3-5 different times with information to include the full schedule.Everyone knows what night they are playing and if something comes up between now and the time they are scheduled to play, that's fine, just let me know and we can switch nights with someone (already did this once), not a big deal.I don't think it's Custom's responsibility to tell players when they are supposed to play. THAT IS THE CAPTAIN'S JOB !!! So if PL wants to blame anyone for him missing his match last night it should be Royal, not Custom. He is just posting the schedule so we all can see who is playing on a given night.

You're an organizer's best friend.

And my team has had it's schedule organized from the beginning, with an ongoing email thread with updates, changes etc. I never said anything about scheduling - in fact, I said PL's post seemed to have more captain-related problems then anything.Patrick

Ya but posting the old schedules screws stuff up for guys like Pokerloser etc..It should have just been an empty reminder without previous schedules

I can do that if nobody has any problems with it. But, before I posted this, people were complaing that schedules weren't posted. I posted what I had.

Also, to add.this isnt a shot at custom, But there was some issues with the orinigal site, an dthe original scheduleNow we all had to go through the same issues, etc.. I rescheduled my team and had them set for week 1.within this mess of schedules, some of my players stil werent getting their tickets on time.My recheduled plan had to stop, switch a player last minute, and throw in another player, It gets very tiresome when your sechdules dont even matter because your players cant play.

That's why you figure things out in advance. I doubt there is anyone that doesn't have a lot going on in their lives - be it work, school, family, etc.Patrick

And it helps if you have someone assisting you when you aren't around. My scouting dept does a good job at that. :-)Patrick

yes, exatly, read my "also to add" post, my schedule still doesnt matter cuz my last weeks had to take a drastic last minute change 2 hours before the match due to ticket issues again.its very annoying to tell everyone when they play and then they cant

Much respect to our 10th member, he's been great about keeping the rest of us in line.

I'm not playing on Tuesday. I switched with another team member (AJ). I am playing on the 12th.Thanks.

[ajs510 122]

Custom, not sure if it matters, but Viva La Jopke (PMJackson21) has a schedule change. I'll be playing tomorrow night, Mandelbrot will be playing on 2/12 (Sunday).*Edit* Ok, that's just freaky.

[Hotmark777 0]

(I am not a fcpfc player I am fairly new)Start over!! I like PL's idea, and he had some good points, and he didn't blame custom or his captain, he mentioned things were out of some peoples control. But I have to go with him when he points out someone volunteered to run it, and just missed the boat. and he says not all there fault to that fact too.I did a quick search and there is a post where Spademan was quiting where ajs5..something, says spots will be "forfeited" if they quit (paraphrasing).SO, was the wrong weeks schedule posted like Royal said? was this all just a mistake. Who cares at this point,Start over or just drop it and give everyone there money back...on Stars. lolThen start over so I can play!! hehe

I don't know why I'm even responding, since you have nothing to do with the challenge whatsoever, but substitutions are perfectly legal, and this one was made over a week ago through email.

Ive been practicing on the turbo $200 sngs, so I don't think I prepared well for a slow structure. Oh well - at least I'll either have a ton of chips early, or be done. ;-)Patrick

I'm not sending 80 different transfers. They knew what they were getting into when they sent the money. We'll finish it out, reflect on what was good and what was bad, and the second run will be a lot smoother.

[capthowdy981 0]

I think the problem is that one person needs to step up and run it alone. One responsible person. Everyone is relying on someone else when in reality this thing is so far unorganized it isn't funny.I haven't played yet, and I have no idea on when I am supposed to? I'm on Kdawg's team and haven't heard a lick from that guy. But since we're winning I'll vote to keep going.Next time though I will personally vote myself to run this ****ing thing all by myself. I will pick captains, host a draft, I WILL MAKE A SCHEDULE and if your players cannot make it, then they can switch amongst themselves. I will try to rail every event and update the standings within 24 hours of each event. I might need help on railing - and hell I'll make it entertaining with summaries and shit. This needs it's own forum. In short, you cannot rely on anyone by themselves. I will also ask for a free entry into this event for doing everything. And if you want to start over, I'll be glad to step up right now and we can start over. It will be 100% clear on who is playing when and what is expected, and there will be absolutely no confusion unless your teammates cannot re-schedule their play time, and that is all on YOUR TEAM.I personally vote to transfer all the money to me, we'll reset the draft and start new. Or transfer the money to the team capitans who then transfer to all individual players on their team.

I don't understand what all the hubbub is. Everyone knows the games are on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays. Everyone's team captain should have set out a schedule, so that everyone chooses 3 days that they can play. Before the weekend there's usually an email reminder about who's playing and who can sub in if necessary. Plus usually one or two volunteers to be around just before the match starts in case of a need for a last minute substitution. Its not that hard people. We don't need more organisation and to centralise this in one person's hands. We need people to not be retarded.

just to be clear, i'm playing for kdawg's team tonight. i thought i didn't have a ticket, but it turns out that i do (and i thought it was for a completed tournament). everything's fine, but if i need to be on that list on the first post of this thread, please put me on it.and for the record, everyone is freaking out far too much about this. it's a new idea, it's messy, and people are doing what they can. also, if things like this happen again after i'm done with school and just playing cards, i would love to be involved with the administration-related stuff of things like this.

You make it sound pretty good. But you are sooo wrong on this. NONE of what you say is happenening, yet you make it sound like it is. We all know it is Sun. Mon. Tues., oh except the first week, oh but that didn't count. Captains should have sent a schedule...sounds nice never happened. The playing weeks have been so messed up there is no way to plan for who and when. Before the weekend there is usually an e-mail. NO F'N WAY. there is no e-mail sent, first no one ever asked for my e-mail so that's not happening. Sounds great but your full of it. One or two volunteers, your wrong again, nobody is ever there, maybe Custom who is trying his hardest to manage something that has gotten so out of control you almost have to start over just to gain control again. There is no shame in just saying we f'd up, we got to just regroup and kick it off again.Last minute substitution? So what your saying is that these volunteers sit and wait for about the last 5 minutes and if someone is not there they, do what? call someone real quick and fill a spot. Then why were 7 people missing last night? You have no idea what you are talking about in "reality". You post this neat tidy message that makes it sound like things are great, but not one piece of it was true!!Custom:You don't want to send back 80 people there money send it to me I'll do it. Or just send me back my $10, and I can go away forever. I haven't played yet, and You said yourself we were offered to get out, I tried before it all started and YOU told me NO. If that's not true, send it back, I go away. And Hapily to never return!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!C'Mon Custom, do it, I dare ya, send me my $$. there are 50 guys out there wanting to be a part of this circus, pick one anyone, let Royal pick one.Heck if anyone that wants in reads this send me $10 bucks on Stars and you can buy my spot!!!.Custom I think you have worked very hard on this to try everything to get it going, I give you props for that, But as I tell my Employees, there is a difference between working hard and working smart. Spend time doing it right the first time and not having to repair it over and over.
