Re: My case against <G14>
My first statement probably should sum up this issue:
You CANNOT legislate Gracious Professionalism.
Our team knows not to ridicule or take advantage of other teams that cannot perform on the field. We don't need a rule to do that. This is our choice... and I would rather err and lose a match here or there than not follow this path.
So in the end... I don't mind the rule... it is what we would do anyway.
What I do mind is that it penalizes teams that had nothing to do with the action.
I am team xxxx ... I am on an alliance with a team who does not really understand that's its not ok to take advantage... even on the field and even if its within the rules.... so they outscore our opponent by 3 times... WE carry the penalty into the next match... even though we had NOTHING to do with it...
AND our next ALLIANCE PARTNERS.. who did NOT break any rules....who did not even get a WIN by breaking this rule.... who are graciously professional on and off the field.... are penalized... and put into a disadvantageous position.... for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON..
YOU CANNOT TEACH Gracious Professionalism by making rules that require it.
thank you
and good luck to everyone this year!!
