emphacized flexibilty in this league but often it results in teams
not following through, not showing up, leaving thier opponents with
no one to play. Very disrepectful and discouraging. I think we are
going to have to be tougher/clearer about what it takes to be in the
league, including a 100% commitment to all games.

it.
