8 days over on Snooker (_nerdzz_), with all due respect no player has had anything to really log on for a while. The season has only just started so hopefully players will acknowledge this and make their return.

I run a team not a select few players, within 21 days their is ample opportunity for our inactive (current) to make a return or at the least message and decide their own preference. Whether that be a date they will be available or if they decide clans is not for them.

I'd rather give players 14 days to return than 7 where anyone active or eligible can be chosen to fulfill that fixture.

Yes it promotes picking active players if you cannot contact them externally to come on. But it should also encourage the team who has chosen to pick an inactive player to put the effort in on week 3 to get game completed while the team that has been active should feel no pressure to sub which in my opinion is fair as opposed to what has happened in the past which is inactive players come online on deadline day and demand a sub for the player who has been active the full 3 weeks, which is completely wrong in my opinion. If a team that has had an inactive player makes all the running in week 3 and the active player then struggles to play then the team with the inactive player if effort is made in week 3 are not guaranteed to lose default before players start avoiding so game goes to default, it would depend on effort and options provided by all players / captains.

Just for the record as i have noticed you are quoting snooker, no activity on snooker would ever count towards pool so it is irrelevant. The days offline on pool are all that count and this goes for all clans not just phoenix.

Sorry Pocket Dynamos i will let you have your thread back now, if anyone has any problems or questions regarding any of the above please can we move it to the discussion thread.

Thanks

Well that's a little unfair and unbalanced IMO, the ability to make subs in that case should balance with the amount of time we can't. How about 10 days no subs, 11 days they are permitted?

You have just given license for those who can't play on week 3 to make zero effort if their opponent is unavailable/inactive for the first 14 days.

As the default and their opponents inactivity will stand them in good stead regardless of effort in week 3.

Will link and send messages tomorrow, good luck all .

Sorry Dynamos for posting but discussion was here so made sense to post, any further replies, lets take it to discussion thread where it belongs so Dynamos can have thread back.

Nice friendly discussion though

Sorry Punkpoet & Co: I'll post on FCL discussion thread from now on. Have your thread back.

Okay guys this is PD's thread :)
Thanks for the apologies, I don't mind discussions but this became a non pd's issue and me and my guys don't need to read it.
We all know Craig is very active and it goes without saying we won't sub him out, or any player whos active for that matter.

Now lets talk about pds issues... or a joke or 2 is fine if very funny

PD news, do people really use the member links at all? Or is it a waste of time lol, let me know as I might just not bother, though if I miss the links (easily to check activity) I will start doing it.

EDIT scratch that annoyed I cant see peoples activity easily LOL
