We can't just make scores up for those that don't play, it's farcical!!! If we are playing that rule shouldn't Tom get an average score, he missed a week. Can we play this game fairly, otherwise not bother at all.

Can we play this game fairly, otherwise not bother at all. It depends on why they don't enter. If it is simply impossible for someone to enter then why should they lose out? I was given points for the weeks when I was in hospital last season. It seems perfectly reasonable to make allowances for people who are unable to enter for other reasons. The alternative is to exclude all participants' worst weeks but that is a lot more work for the members running the show.

Shireblogger himself said he didn't think he should get points for being away.

Right fine, if you disagree with me, then I have absolutely no qualms of quitting the whole thing as I have no interest in putting up with crap like this. If you think it is reasonable that someone who had no opportunity to play should be excluded, then that is your opinion, but certainly not mine. This is exactly why someone should have taken ownership of this game at the beginning of the year, and run with it, where the fixtures for the month could be updated at the beginning, then you would have a valid point. As it is I'm running these few weeks, so I think what I have done is legitimate and fair in the circumstances.

I think if that's been the standard it is fair to give points, but it should be factored to the difficulty of that week's round.

Fine, keep his points. I wasn't aware that we'd done this for others in the past. We just need to be consistent.

Ok, from now if anyone knows a time when it is impossible for them to come online to predict, let us know here and we will put up the set of fixtures for that weekend especially early for you.
That will solve all arguments.

Shireb didn't want to be the cause of arguments, which is why he said give him 0, but if we had monthly predictions like in the past, then he would have been able to predict before going away. That is the problem with piecemeal predictions each week, thanks to those that have attempted to do that, but these problems will come up again at Christmas, when people can go offline.

We can arrange for advanced publishing them for that period.
As this week, and also 2 weeks and 3 weeks time, I am unable to predict after Wednesday evening, I will request that for those later weeks the fixtures are posted here by Tuesday. This week they already were.

Maybe as you started the ball rolling and you need the fixtures early, you can sort them out for those weeks...
