Mostly efficient. Thank you. </happy> <unhappy> Before the 5-8 semis on Sunday I asked Ben Ravillious (TD) what the game rules were. He confirmed that they'd been muttered about briefly in the captain's meeting and that a points limit of 19 had been mentioned, but that I should check with Chris Hughes (DoC and schedule boss) for specifics and context... Chris Hughes duly told me we were playing to 19, but still 90 mins, and 2 timeouts/half/team. Apparently, this was incorrect (as discovered AFTER half-time) but we stuck with it for that game. Whether this error had any effect is arguable (and believe me, we argued about it amongst ourselves!), but not the basis for my comment. My concern is this: Why was this information not included in either the handouts, at the captain's meeting, or available for reference in a form other than hunting down Chris Hughes and hoping his brain was in gear... ? </unhappy> Wayne Retter on behalf of the Fluid Druids ---------------------------------------------------------------- Wayne Retter at home: 0181-663-4856 wayne@phidelta.demon.co.uk mobile: 07970-903420
