[QUOTE="Point-Illinois, post: 1691468, member: 747217"] I wonder if there would be a way to alter the “if this many players are available, you play” guidance. If our starting 5 are out due to COVID, and we have to start our backups and play wakons lots of minutes, that’s basically a forfeit anyway. Maybe part of the initial “get to reschedule without having to forfeit” decision can be something like “missing over 50% of players that provide the majority of minutes.” It could only be used once per scheduled game and then if there are still COVID issues by the time the reschedule date comes around, you go back to the 7 player minimum/forfeit/no contest stuff. If you utilize this option and run out of time to reschedule it, you forfeit anyway to de-incentive using it to casually or as a way to force a “no decision”. Winning games is part of every coaches contract and having to play without your full team is rough (as we’ve seen). Coaches lose out on incentives/bonuses and players lose out on experiences/awards. But maybe this is all just a “suck it up” situation. So many people have been negatively affected the past two years and lost out on money/lost jobs and livelihoods (outside of sports). It could be that coaches and players just have to continue dealing with it as well. [/QUOTE]
