: I realize it's been a coon's age since I was an admin, htd, or td. BUT COME ON!!!
: Ok little background here first...
: Regged for a canasta tourney in a myleague I have played in for a while. Well it's the night from H!!!
: 12 midnight tourney doesn't start till 12:28 when another td who happened to be in the tourney decides to start it after the lobby is near riot status. Note here also that the td who was already running more than they could possibly handle WAS IN LOBBY!
: So question #1 Isn't the rule another td can start a tourney if td is awol and if all players agree the substitute td may still play in the tourney ???
: OK so on to this tourney. My opp turns out to be the TD who's running the tourney. Not the named TD of the tourney. It takes 13 mins and numerous pleas whines and Biotchin to get that invite at all!
: Then the td/opp draws about 3 times and goes awol for over 3 mins but comes back before I can get another td to come to table and clock that td/opp!
: Then the td/opp gets all pizzy cause I am outraged at all this time wasted and no clocks etc and tells 3rd td who finally came to clock 2nd td after 2nd td had already returned to give me the win since I am soooooooooooooooo biotchy! WELL H wouldn't you be by now?
: Ok so I sit there 40 mins waiting on the rest to finish r1 . And we scream rant and rave till r2 is finally called! Then td 1 and 2 both disappear and we wait till H freezes over again just for rules and a start time!! By now people have obviously said just take me the H out of this thing I am going to bed. Played round 2 lost my pants and at 2 am when they still hadn't called r3 told them to take me out. Enough was enough of this crap.
: So I put a little message in forum telling them that maybe just maybe they should limit the number of tourneys a td can run at one time when obviously the entire lobby is in riot status because no one can get the td to put pairings up clock people report wins etc. Well they didn't take kindly to my years of service and expertise as a td htd and admin and removed the post instead of learning from it! So that Pizzed me off even more so I moved my bux removed my diamond and quit the league.
: Today in Email I get an email from a NEW HA in a NEW LEAGUE that I am shocked to say the least... ( names removed to protect the guilty lol )
: Hello Canasta Player,

: NOW first of all you got to be kidding me if this ain't recruiting what the H is ?
: Secondly, you can't get my email by clicking on my name in daily news.
: Thirdly, you can't get my email by going to find player because I quit the league. I know I tried!
: Forthly? Either they took the time to search out all the leagues till they found one I was in. Came clear in here to this forum and found a league I was in. Or there is some big security breech somewhere!
: Fifthly? They sure aren't very smart if they were they would have noticed I am diamond and there for I can't be purged!!!
: Sixthly? Can Patti or someone put an end to this miss use of player information and recruiting because I have enough emails to read a day!
