To all players
My week is being whittled down to nothing currently. I'm away from Friday to Monday as well so I'm very conscious that I want everything to stay on track. FJ3000 will post W3 on Saturday to allow all players to start this on time but the end of W2 will be impossible for me to manage (given that I won't have any internet access).
I'll therefore extend the R3 finish through to 12pm GMT on Monday to give more than enough time for players who make the cut to finish their rounds and allow me to catch-up on Monday with finishing off the scoring process / leaderboards etc...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beyond this I'm going to make a call which some may disagree with but in all honesty, it'll make my running of the tour, possible for the next two weeks.
All players who've submitted scores for W2 (both rounds) will be accepted (irrespective of posting mistakes). All warnings given to players in W1 and W2 will be removed so everyone from this point forward will start with a clean slate.
All the rules will now be enforced strictly but everyone gets the chance to start afresh. Everyone's had plenty of opportunities to get used to the card / greenshot / different partner rules so the mistakes should now be minimized. I'm seeing the past two weeks as a trial run and now everything is live and valid.
Some may see this as unfair but put simply with the limited amount of time I have available and other people in the management team being away as well, it will become near impossible to look after for the next few weeks with the amount of warnings currently in place.
PM me if you have any questions on this matter as I don't want the thread to degenerate into a forum discussion about this decision. In all honesty, I don't want to have to do it but I simply have no choice given the availability I'm working around.
