State of the 4545 League

by @SpiteKnight

We're in Round 6 of the League with no clear leader in sight. 'Blunderwhelming', 'All You Need is Luft' and 'Team 777' are joint leaders, just separated by tiebreaks.
LoneWolf Season 11 is due to start soon, please look out for #announcements for more updates.

We have a submission by the team mods for all our participants:

"MOD FYI and Reminders:

1. Scheduling draws are awarded when players show _reasonable effort_ at scheduling. This is demonstrated by offering 3 times across 2 days. See https://www.lichess4545.com/team4545/season/12/document/rules/#IV.Scheduling.

>Player A offers 3 times during the week and says they can't play on the weekend. Player B then says, "Sorry I can only play on the weekends. I guess lets call a scheduling draw" The players contact the mods to claim a draw.

This would *NOT* be ruled a scheduling draw following the letter of the rule. Read the rules carefully folks.

>If you are player B a much better reply would be "Sorry I can't do any of those times during the week. I can only offer to play Saturday at 11:00-14:00 UTC and Sunday 12:00 -17:00 UTC."

In this instance we WOULD be able to rule a scheduling draw. Also, if you can only play 2 days of the week, maybe its best to set yourself unavailable so an alt can try to schedule a game.

I know it seems a bit artificial when someone tells you they can't play on the weekend to offer times over the weekend, but we DON"T consider "Sorry I can only play on the weekends. I guess lets call a scheduling draw" reasonable effort.

2. Yellow cards for 24 hour rule violations are enforced only when moderators are made aware of such violations. We cannot monitor every single scheduling conversation. If you have issues scheduling/reaching your opponent please let the captains in the match know. You should expect an alternate search to be started to replace your opponent. Please send screenshots of your attempt to schedule with no response so we can enforce the rules.

Captains, if its past 24 hours with no initial offers, set the player as unavailable for that week. Don't wait until mods get involved with threats of yellow cards and allow the poorly responsive player to play that week."
