When our league schedule came out in March, I informed the scheduler that there was a game we couldn't play (this Friday). I reached out to the manager of that team and suggested at least two different dates... neither "worked" for him. Today i informed the league VP and president that this game will not be able to be played due to me not having enough players. I'm being told it must be a forfeit. True?
In our home district, the favoritism that LL shows to a select few leagues really has me soured. Basically in our district there are three monster leagues one decently sized league (that was allowed to combine with someone a few years ago) and then 6 other leagues that are smaller and some are barely hanging on. One of the leagues (that was three major teams, whereas the larger leagues have 6-8), asked LL to do combined allstar play with our neighboring league (who also has 3 teams)..... denied. They're basically giving the district title to one of the three larger leagues. They then complain that not enough teams are entering the tourney. Why? To go two and and out? Unless things change, I can see leagues leaving little league and going to Ripken.
