Looks like I goofed.

This exact thing happened against me in a head to head Bases contest here last year. I didn't like the ruling then but it stood.

Two things to consider:

1) JOH is running the contest and makes the rulings.

2) He's sick and probably ruling from a hospital bed.

So I don't want to cause him any extra stress. But if he allows it I would be willing to take a -300 loss by not playing my last game of the 15. I don't want my mistake to cause anyone to feel that they are being screwed. But I also don't want to add any stress to JOH's life right now so I'm going to defer to his judgement whatever it is.

Sorry about the mistake.

Sorry about the mistake.

As I said, we will move on from this but just in case you didn't see your result from last Friday, I had to make an adjustment to your posted plays that day also. The ruling will stand but you may need to re-read the rules so we can nip this in the bud going forward.

Never saw that. Jeesh. Have no idea what I played that day. Sorry for the screwups. I'm not trying to cheat anybody.

And sorry to cause these problems for you, JOH. Hope you're feeling better.
