    Rule clarification o

    OK so we can only use our relief pitchers twice a week, everyone knows that.

    If by mistake we use them 3 times per week instead of getting an automatic loss we get to replay the game? Do i have that right?

    1st offense = replay
    2nd offense = forfeit

    That's my understanding.

    Why is there even an option for a replay? Everyone makes mistakes but this is a simple thing that people need to follow.

    Im assuming that only counts for games you win? So if im down 1-0 why not bring in my ace. Worst case is i come back and get a free replay.

    This should be an automatic loss.

    I would assume you would take a big hit on ur reliability meter right?

    Drake, you had better not be asking this so that you could bring Zito, Mulder, Hudson, or Harden in after Vlad Guerrero, Jose Guillen, or Shane Halter start blasting bombs off of you.

    J/K, is this just a curiosity question, or did it actually happen.

    That is a good point. Easy way to get a free replay and avoid the loss, but it is only the first time you do it, but it is like a one time free pass and that can't be good either.

    The replay would only come into effect if you won. Honest mistake and you win, play the game over. That's the penalty. Do it again you forfeit no matter what.

    Abuse the system in some way shape or form and you will be kicked out of the league and league gaming.

    yea i think thats the idea here. if you win, by a mistake, then you should re-play the game in fairness to the other gamer. like what happen to me and soadversion7. he apoligize and explain the thing, and we play again. the unfortunate thing there is, instead of loosing to a 1-0 game, i lost by a large margin :x :x :x

    my suggestion is to write down your own, and your opponents picthing situation BEFORE the game(s). this will alleviate problems.

    i actually made this mistake in a blowout loss - and neither myself nor my opponent had written it down. from now on i will make sure i write it down beforehand, just in case!
