sid snott Well if you want to put me back in the ring Harry, I'll come back but will not captain and maybe help Ben or whoever with data collection for the scoreboard.

I would like at least finish off season 9. What's needed is a couple of people to do the score sheets as it's to much for one volunteer. I'm only to happy to take over the scoring to get us moving forward, I have the time and I'm on the dirtbag forums every day, I can probably do it on my own but is someone else like SkyBlueBen could hold my hand for a week or so that would be great.

The play the first two rds by Wednesday night/Thursday morning has been a unwritten rule that came about as we grew and was decided by the admin to enforce more to more things run more smoothly for the scoring and the press office. I would like to keep this rule to help with the smooth running of the Dirtbags. Good morning, I completely understand the reasoning behind the rule and I even agree with it (note that I am generally rather liberal and therefore a little defensive when it comes to rules). However, and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I think there has been a transition from "request" to "rule", which has been done by the means of Frans' post one week ago. I think the functioning of the group would have benefitted if that transition would have been carried out in between two seasons and then clearly highlighted in a similar statement to post 3 on page 1, even more so since this rule is a departure from the TGCT rules, which are explicitly mentioned in post 3 on page 1. Admins, please don't misunderstand this as criticism, but rather as a humble idea to improve the functioning of a group with 32 players and at least as many egos. Moreover, please keep in mind that I am far from being fluent in English and thus, there is a risk that my chosen wording above may sound differently to what I intended. I like you all, and I think the Dirtbags are a great achievement. And, most importantly, I am very grateful for all the work the admins put into this and I am aware that they are trying very hard to do the best they can. Hugs and kisses. That said, I am happy to help the admins in one way or another. I can do scoring as well.

It is with a heavy heart and after a lot of consideration I have decided that it is time for me to give up gracefully with the Dirtbags.
Since coming in at the start of Season 5, taking over the scoring in Season 6, 7 and 8 and continuing with the Admin in Season 9 and running Designed by Dirtbags I have always done my utmost to assist in making this a fun but competitive place to play. With competition comes rules and guidelines. Throughout my tenure every time there has been a transgression of the rules and a decision has had to be made the result has always been meltdown. I fail to understand, and always will, why people find it so difficult to accept a decision. These decisions are not made on a personal basis but always with the good of a group of 32 players in mind. It sadly gets to the stage where it just wears you down and you re-evalulate the best use of your time and energy.
It would seem the general feeling is for a more relaxed league where everyone is allowed to do what they want, when they want without structure. So be it.
I would like to thank all the players I have encountered along the way. It's been a blast. And very much like to thank all those who have volunteered to be Admin's during my stay with the Dirtbags. I know how involved it can be first hand and I thank each and every one of you that has been generous with your time.
It is heartening to see so many volunteers put their name forward to help out with driving Dirtbags forward. Good luck.
Hope to see some of you online for a game in the future because that is where I get the greatest pleasure from the game nowadays.
For one last time....
Onward!

If we are looking for another member can I suggest Mike Conner (Babybull) who plies his trade in CC-A. A few of us know him from streams so I could send him a message and see if he wants to join?

honeybadger64 SAM I have injured myself severely and it looks like I'll be out of commission for a week or more I don't know at this point I'm taking it day by day. I apologize for the late submission of my 4th round witht the condition I'm in I'm lucky I even able to play that through the pain I hope that you will be able to find a backup for me and the team until I heal. I cannot get up from a sitting position to a standing position without help I cannot walk without severe pain i also have injured my shoulder that I might have torn some ligaments or close to rupturing them.

Very distressed to hear about your injury Carol inflames47 . I hate shoulder injuries, they seem to take a long time to heal, but I hope you feel better soon. On a different topic SkyBlueBen does your leaving Dirtbags mean you are also shutting down Designed by Dirtbags as well? I hope that is not the case but I understand if that is how you feel. I was taken by surprise by this whole blow-up of the Dirtbags, and I wonder if the stress of the pandemic is affecting everyone's feelings and sensitivities. Even as a relative newbie I really enjoyed all the folks and cameraderie of this group and am very disappointed to see it implode like this. I am quite good with data handling, and would be happy to help in any way I can to keep things going.

Dear all, Paul has asked me to continue playing the CC-pro rounds and report them. If that helps the remaining Admin Team members and assists in ensuring that this society and the catcherman22 cup can continue and provide additional pixel golf fun for people playing in both, I'm happy to do that; I still love playing pixel golf. Please don't ask me to get involved in any discussion about what has happened or will happen in/with this society though. Also, if the Admin Team would rather replace me at any point, or anybody else objects to me reporting my scores and them being used for either competition, just say so and I will stop reporting them. Best wishes, Frans PS Get well soon, Carol inflames47!

Best wishes, Frans PS Get well soon, Carol inflames47! No one and I reiterate no one wants anyone to leave the Dirtbags we should be able to sort our differences out in a sensible manner. I’m intending to play to the end of the season then make a decision then wether to stay or go just for peoples information.
