| Message | It would seem that we need a rule in place moving forward, something black and white. |

| Message | i hate to bog things down with rules, but i just find this incredibly frustrating every time (maybe it's just me?).. not just noel missing a lot of deadlines, but no communication from rob at the midseason draft as well.. with rob we skipped his pick after making multiple efforts to contact him.. i would like to implement a penalty in this situation too. noel, i agree axing all your contracts is a little over the top.. even a fine of five auction dollars would be enough of a deterrant for next time if contracts can't be submitted with 6 months to make a decision.. looking forward to friday! |

| Message | If you would like an excuse I will give you two that I even wish were not as important as the pool but here they are. 1. I have already got late report cards for school that have to be done. 2. I am finishing up a Masters degree and have a class tomorrow that requires two major papers. Is it an excuse, Yes, did I miss the deadline yes but I have alot more riding on the other two things. I honestly wish I could devote morer attention to the pool but I have been too busy and I will have ufortunaley go into the pool with limited prep and I am just looking forward to seeing everyone and letting the dice roll for another year. I hope this makes sense. I cannot devote anymore time to it as I have to finish my last essay up and it is now 1:20 in the morning and I have school at 8:00am. I hope you all understand. |

| Message | I just had a chance to read the posts from below and I will enter an option c) If I do not get my contracts, I quit. I am not trying to be mean, but as life will get more complicated as the years go on, I have a number of things going on and to be honest, this is not really at the top of my list of things to do. I love the pool and really I love the chance to get together and see everyone once a year. as Harold has said in the past it is his favorite day of the year and it is also one of my favorites aswell.It is already too bad that Derksen's commitments have kept him from attending this year and it will just not be the same.(No disrespect to Derek) I realize I am about 40 minutes late and yeah rules are rules but I am suggesting that we get rid of this timed deadline and give it a reasonable solution. Maybe it is a courtesy phone call or something like that I am not sure. We are not in high school anymore, we have families and different responsibilities that take presedence over the pool. (See Part 2) |
