One thing I think that lead to some of this is our 2 tourneys the Match Play League & the MP League V Handicap being run at the same time. With league in both descriptions it looked like some played in the Mp League thinking it was the Match Play. Easy mistake if they don't read the forums.
Willy,
I have to disagree with your assumption here. The players that missed their rounds in Major League Golf were the same players that bailed in the MP League. For one reason or another, they did not (or could not) honor their commitments. A few contacted me or Moose via PM or Skype and had legitimate personal reasons for missing their rounds that need not be discussed in public forums. Others did, in fact, simply disappear with no explanation.
Unfortunately, that is an inevitability with these lengthy leagues. Some people lose interest (especially if they are not in the hunt for the prizes) and, sometimes, real life simply gets in the way.
Moose and I did our best to keep the rosters full whenever we had an absentee. Each time we saw a possible issue, we sent PM's to the player involved to remind them to play and, if that failed, scoured the CC members to try to find a suitable replacement.

...also prevented another member from playing that would have played all.
Every effort was made to contact every available CC member whenever there was an opening in this League. Throughout the League, we had relative success in replacing the players that dropped out, but, toward the end, there were simply no more members willing to step up and fill the slots. If you are (or were) aware of a member that was left out, please let me know.
