Its very rare that people who actually have a chance of winning something claim matches. Its always the doughnuts that have a hard on seeing their name(s) in round two.
If anyone has claimed a game then they should take up a different sport. You play in the league to play people!
Whilst this is true, it is that mentality that is making my life miserable as I am having to oblige other people by playing my games when it is convenient for them - all because I would feel like a dick for claiming it.
I do agree with what you say and I have never claimed a win, but it is starting to get on my nerves when two weeks in a row I have to reschedule - without notice - on the day of the match. This week I was actually standing by my car with my jacket on, google map printed, keys in hand when I got the call from my secretary.
I am always, without fail available on the day the match is meant to be played in the first place. Why isn't anyone else?
Please do not make it a crime to claim a match, it's up to the person cancelling to at least give a day's notice unless they have a damn good reason.
okay, rant over
I hate dicks who claim matches - why would you want to "win" a game you didnt play - its basically cheating!
