Guidelines for playoff scheduling conflicts:
In order to help deal with the issue of schedule conflicts during the playoffs, the Executive Committee have drawn up the following policy so that the Executive Committee can wield the proper authority to make arbitration decisions.
Sunday games:
The highest seeded team (in their respective divisions) plays at 4 pm, unless otherwise agreed upon by all four teams involved.
The teams that don't have highest seed then have a few options:
1) Arrange to play the match on a different date (must be agreed upon by both teams)
2) Arrange to play at a neutral venue. Available sites will be suggested by the Executive Committee (must be agreed upon by both teams).
3) Arrange to play at the non-home team's bar (must be agreed upon by both teams).
4) Play at the originally scheduled venue after the first match has finished.
If Option 4 is chosen, the following stipulations will be strictly enforced.
If the first match is running late, and the second match cannot start by 8 pm at the earliest, the teams must choose one of the following options:
A) Choose a neutral venue and start at 8 pm. Available sites will be suggested
by the Executive Committee.
B) Play at the non-home team's bar, starting at 8 pm.
C) Start the match at 8 pm at either a neutral venue or the non-home team's bar, and then transfer over to the originally scheduled venue once the earlier match ends.
If the two teams cannot come to an agreement, the Executive Committee will decide. If either team refuses to comply with these stipulations, that team will forfeit.
Wednesday Games:
1) Arrange to play the match on a different date (must be agreed upon by both
teams)
2) Arrange to play at a neutral venue. Available sites will be suggested by the
Executive Committee (must be agreed upon by both teams).
3) Arrange to play at the non-home team's bar (must be agreed upon by both
teams).
If the two teams cannot come to an agreement, the Executive Committee will decide. If either team refuses to comply with these stipulations, that team will forfeit.

Tonight sees the end of the regular season before we hurtle towards Sunday's (That is SUNDAY, John Owens) Playoffs. Let's see what has been happening the divisions since September...
Championship A:
Boomtown Rats lead the way thanks in part to a Wonky's collapse and the fact Josh and Woojae were "too busy at home" a few Wednesdays back. Gentlemen, there is only one thing you should be using your hands for on a Wednesday night! Both Josh and Woojae will be hoping they do at least qualify for the playoffs...there was a rumor circulating that Strokers might have to forfeit tonight's match. The words Mark, Genius and Barnes are not often heard in the same sentence anywhere in Itaewon but...just for once...Mark Barnes, you are a trolling genius! Pinorea could catch the Rats as they play each other on the last night. Strokers and Wonky's seem destined to complete the top 4. Wonky's once again will finish as the "winningest" team but they just simply refuse to thrash anyone. They are just simply too nice. Speaking of too nice, Finch's Birds and Sam's Power will be battling for who finishes 5th and gets a bye on Sunday, which will be er...nice. Marvelous are simply marvelous at losing 7-8.
Championship B:
Ladies and Gentlemen, a moment's silence shall now be observed for Sin Bin Bombadeers...
That's long enough...King Pub are already destroying every team in their path and have already claimed top spot and, barring a miracle, will also claim the Ratings Division title as well. The Pain in the Hole, Bell Endz and a team still living off one night of glory look evenly matched. Black Hole and Kozels are playing for pride and I have only just realized how Shih Tzu are! One real win all season! And that against a team who had 5 forfeits that night. Still better than Dabu's team though, who simply crumbled, disintegrated and disbanded after a cold hard stare from Sunny...allegedly!
Championship C:
JJ's 86 match winning streak is getting ridiculous. No pressure for the playoffs but, if you guys don't win, you'll be known as the greatest IPL bottlers in history. Sweet Life have offered a hint of pressure to the JJ-Juggernaut. Frigates are 3rd, a mere 112 points behind the leaders despite having taken 0 points from 2 matches this season. The C _ _ _ Tips (sorry, one too many blanks there, must edit) are 4th, The Fools in the Pool are 5th and Ballet-Sticks 6th but all eyes will be on the clash at the bottom tonight. Yes, despite what I said last time, Pheasants have a chance to make the the greatest comeback in IPL history. On my last review, they were 56 points behind Scandal. 7 weeks later and an 11-4 win tonight would take them to the promised land of...7th. You can do it, Phillies!
Have a good evening and good luck to all for the playoffs (unless you play my team, of course)
