Wow this is really getting ugly for no reason. Dynomite, I spoke to you, no actually listened to you last night. You were upset about what had occured, and I agreed with you that it was unfair to you as a player that things with the team and points issue went the way that they did. However with that being said you never allowed me to explain the entire situation to you.
When I came in you were in your match which I didn't want to interupt out of respect to you and your opponent. After your match was finished both you and your captain approached the Sr. Division Rep and discussed the matter with him, which I was not apart of, I can only assume that you guy's were not please with what he told you.
I will say this again, you did absolutely nothing wrong, you joined the team, you showed up every week as a player should, you played your heart out, and you won most if not all of your matches. Your team is probally the most talented, and most powerful team in the building, hands down. But that was not where the problem lies, the issue was not something that you had any control over, nor did I, however if the matter of the financials were taken care of by someone simply reading the envelope, or even calling the office if they didn't understand what was going on all of this whole situation could have been avoided. There was a discrepancy with our money and we lost point until it got resolved, in our case it only took a week because I reacted to the same notes that were left on my envelope, No one approached me about anything until points had been taken which was only done as a last resort.
You being new to your team it wasn't your fault, it is un-fair to you, but it wasn't the leagues fault either.
The reason that we didn't have playoffs is because we only had a 5 team division. So as a result the first and second place team get to go.
I hope that you accept this explanation and allow this to die away, let me appologize to the people in Terry's Region, for it being mentioned this isn't your issue.
To the rest of you posters who have used this as one more reason to not like the APA, go get a life. I have no financial stake in any of this, my only reward is being able to get together with people whom I consider friends and play pool.
And, again Dynomite I think your a nice person and a great player, it was an unfortunate situation that you have found yourself in.
Take Care Black Cat, I hope we'll get the chance to play again soon, under better circumstances.
