Or don't enter a Monday night competiton if you struggle to make Mondays.

I get your point about it having been agreed to be played on another night & agree with you on that point, but you post suggests that Alex is going to struggle to make any Monday because of the long trip he has to make, so are you going to expect every pair to re-arrange to another night to accomodate you, or was this just a one off.

I personally do not play pool other than Monday & Tuesday. I never get to a match on either night before 8 because thats the earliest i can get there, so could not play before a match on a Tuesay night & really wouldn't wanna hang around till after midnight playing it afterwards.

I only make this point because it seems to have become "expected" for matches to be re-arranged now, rather than "requested" & happens frequently rather than rarely.

I fully respect that this isn't the situation in this case, this is just another point in relation to re-arranged mtches. It used to be "I/we can't make the match, you can have it" & then the opponents would offer to play another night, but now too often its a case of "I can't make the match & want to re-arrange it". The opponent then feels obliged to re-arrange the mach, even if it isn't convenient for them to do so.

This isn't a dig at you Alex/Sting, i fully appreciate your situation in this scenario is differnt to what i have posted above, so please do not start one of those you/me threads you used to have with the Coney that go on for 8 weeks. (That was a dig though).
