Regulation Administrator – Myles2


The Regulation Administrator will be responsible for driving any issues relating to Indiscipline, Appeals and Rule Amendments/New rules via e-mail with the other administrators and will decide whether discussion and votes is deemed necessary by all the administrators.


1. How to Play

• 1 a. Predict results on the forum using the appropriate 'Marcello Chicarella Championship – Week #' thread which corresponds to the Serie A week (e.g. Marcello Chicarella Championship - Week 1).
  
• 1 b. Predict results using the letters H (home), A (Away) and D (Draw) which correspond to your prediction (E.g. Milan - Inter … D For Milan and Inter to draw the game in the San Siro.) Other letters or numbers (i.e. 1, 2 and X) will not score points. Predicting scores (i.e. 0-0, 1-0, 1-2, etc.) will not score points.

2. How to Score Points

• 2 a. 1 point is scored for each result predicted correctly.
  
• 2 b. 0 points is awarded for each result predicted incorrectly.
  
• 2 c. Your score for each week is added to your accumulated score of the previous weeks.

3. The Deadline for Predictions

The deadline for predicting results is the kickoff time (GMT) of the first game(s) of each Serie A week.
Eg.1 - If the first game(s) is Saturday at 17:00 hours (GMT), then predictions will be accepted upto and on the time of 16:59 hours (GMT).
Eg.2 - If the first game(s) of midweek fixtures is Wednesday at 19:30 hours (GMT), then predictions will be accepted upto and on the time of 19:29 hours (GMT).



4. Postponed/Suspended Matches and Voided Results

• 4 a. If a match result is changed or voided, your score will be altered to correspond with the official result.
  
• 4 b. If a match is postponed or suspended before or during the match and the game is not replayed, then the result used for accumulating your score will be the result made official.
  
• 4 c. If a match is postponed or suspended before or during the match and the game is replayed, then participants can submit new predictions for the re-arranged game.

5. Participants Absent

• 5 a. If you are absent from the forum, post predictions in advance on the 'Marcello Chicarella Championship' thread.
  
• 5 b. Participants who do not post predictions for 4 consecutive weeks will be withdrawn from the Marcello Chicarella Championship at the discretion of the Regulation Administrator.

6. Participants Posting the Table

• 6 a. Any Participant may take the initiative of posting all the weekly scores and/or the whole table before an administrator.
  
• 6 b. Participants cannot post only part of the scores/table as this undermines the role of other participants whom are not included in a part-table.

The administrators understand that delays in posting the whole table are frustrating to the participants. Sometimes an administrator may be unavailable to complete his role in the process within a desired timeframe due to personal commitments, which take priority (i.e. work or study).



7. Tie-break

In the event of a tie-break in the table after week 38, between two or more participants. The winner will be the participant who predicted the highest score for the most amount of weeks, and so on in descending order. Thereafter, if more than one participant is still tied, more than one winner will be declared.



8. Indiscipline on Marcello Chicarella Championship threads

Participants will be either deducted points or expelled from the Marcello Chicarella Championship at the discretion of the administrators.



9. Appeals

• 9 a. Incorrect scores should be highlighted on a 'Marcello Chicarella Championship' thread.
  
• 9 b. A participant can appeal by posting on the 'Marcello Chicarella Championship' thread.
  
• 9 c. A participant cannot appeal late predictions, regardless of forum technicality, no Internet access, holidays, bereavement, apologies or otherwise.

10. Rule Amendments/New Rules

• 10 a. New rules or/and rule amendments can be proposed by any participant/administrator by posting on the 'Marcello Chicarella Championship' thread.
  
• 10 b. Proposed new rules or/and rule amendments will be discussed if deemed necessary by the Regulation Administrator.
  
• 10 c. Any proposed new rules or/and rule amendments discussed, will be implemented if passed by a majority vote of the administrators.

Can I re-join? Pretty please.

Curva - a very, very, very belated congratulations on winning ... I was on holiday at the time and haven't been on the forum much over the summer.
