Thank you Kim Yuan
It is with great sadness that I am accepting your email.
We have tried to make this league as flexible as possible; we even allowed your team a break during the exams.
And for teams that have trouble paying up, we have made it easier for them to manage it by splitting payment into two instalments.
We wanted to create a friendly atmosphere, hence a team that was deemed to be a problem was booted out. And we still promised that all teams would play 11 games.
We also want to help the less fortunate. Hence, you will see field marshals at every game in the league.(Something we didn't really have last year for all games.)
As for the pitches, you cannot say that the quality of pitches are bad - the artificial ones are OK.
The events were beyond our control.
Sports Council made a big blunder that affected our league on a smaller scale, and EZPEN on a larger one!
As for the quality of opponents, yes, I agree that your team (and my Frankel team) may be too strong for this league. It's best you try some other leagues.
The (below par) quality of refereeing -is, to me, debatable.
The money that is paid goes into many things like the booking of the function room, food, souvenirs, medals, guest speaker (this year),(we do not have sponsors).
It is not just for the games per se.
This is a not for profit league, but we do have to show that we do break even.
Anyway, I hope that you and your team do find a good league to play in.
Yes, and have a great World Cup season too!
Cheers
Brian
