So a change that happened 11-12 days before should have been a forfeit if I read that correctly. For a group of guys to be that pissed off, I am pretty positive they are right this time around. Maybe it didn't have to do with TM but coincidenceNo. 10 or more days it's a change that has to be played, you cancel it's a forfeit. Less than 10 days, team has option to cancel and it's a postponed game only. I believe that's how it works. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
As for complaints, again he is not the sole viewer of these types of team to team emails so it would be hard for him to do this without the collusion of others from other clubs and divisions on the executive. Where there's smoke can also be someone blowing smoke up your ass. Jus' sayin'
