RE: Klub Rzeszow - Team Mollo | # 4804 |
| After so hot discusion, including the players from other teams, I have decided to reply once again, although this case is closed.
All captains had confirmed the rules before EL started. The committee is main authority of GEL and can decide in serious cases (not only fair play problems) (rule 10.2). The organizers of GEL are allowed to change the rules or make exceptions to the rules, if a situation requires this. This should only be used in exceptional circumstances (rule 15.1). I am a member of committee from the season 06/07 and I can confirm, that noone has influence on other(s), not even Ales, when he was a member. He had/has just right to power of veto at important changing rules. We persuasion each others by arguments only. I have never noticed that two members »work in pair« agaist the others or that one member vote for his nation. Sometimes a member abtains from voting because his vote maybe not be objective. I trust to every member to work honest and fair, although we have sometimes different opinions. Everyone had chance to become a member of committee 2 month ago. I really cant understand that, except 2 candidates, no one wants to work in the committee, but now, there are more players, from the other teams as well, who want to teach a committee how to interpret the rules. Sorry, but you cant do that. I mention 2 cases, although this is not in the usual way. First: Team Mollo, 2nd round, 8+5 = 13pp for playing 3 vs. 3, TM made 1 substitution, no protest from anyone. After a week one member of committee asked the others how was possible to interpret the rule 5.2 as well. There were 2 possible interpretations: a) 1 missing player the whole match (playing with 3 players the whole match) --> 5+8pp b) Infact TM played with 4 players in the match (but in every round one is missing) --> 8pp only. Both interpretation are correct, but all members agreed with b). Second: Malutki3000. According to the rule 2.6 we didnt allow Eurogomoku to change his nick when he changed a team. Malutki was a bit different case, but we cant agreed at once. But when the opponent team agreed, that he could play with a new nick, the final decision was very easy. These 2 cases prove, that we can write 30 pages of the rules, but we cant foresee each possible situation. Therefore we have to discuse about unpredictable situations individually. Everyone is wellcome to present his/her views of rules in the forum Rules. Thanks! | |
