It is a shame that participation is dwindling as much as it has this past year. People don't hardly come to the world matches or the guys and girls matches anymore.. It is true they aren't advertised as much as they used to be through E-mail.. so most don't know about them, but like Nasty said that is what the calendar is for.. I just don't have time to E-mail my team and make sure all the times are correct every weekend.. unfortunately.

As far as the league matches.. I am disappointed and frustrated. I had a great team at the beginning of the season, but because it was taking so long to schedule a match with another team, I lost a player or two. I found replacements for them, and once again had a great team. I thought we were all getting the season underway again. It has now been almost 3 months since my team played a match, Because we are once again having to wait. After 3 months, how can I expect my team to have the motivation and enthusiam to continue playing when circumstances have also caused me to lose motivation and enthusiasm in coaching. This season started in March and it is almost the end of the year and the holidays are coming up. People are busy and obviously don't have time to sit and play trivia during that time of the year.

I can't say for sure that my team will be available or still motivated to play after all of these months. If that is the case I feel that it is only fair to call it quits for the entire C grade this year and give everyone a first place trophy..if need be. I have tried diligently all season or year rather to keep my team interested but when no games to play, how can you? As the other teams, my team worked hard to get where they are this season, but real life does come up after so many months. I don't ask my team to commit for a year, I ask them to commit for a season that I thought would only last a few months.. as I'm sure other coaches do as well.

The season or the grade could forfeit and I would be fine with it now.. Either way, I will not be coaching in the future.. There seems to be little point.
