A competition needs rules, and the current rules were arrived at after a considerable amount of debate by all who made the effort to give their input. And, under the rules, once you post, the LRF option ceases to apply under any circumstances. The rule is there for people who are unable to post for one reason or another, although inevitably it also applies to those who simply don't want to. But once someone posts, even if it's just to slag off a settler or two, it is clear they are able to post a selection that day and therefore should do so, all the while watching out for the 1-hour rule.

Sovereign Debt - 4.05 Newmarket

You make a couple of interesting points there Reg.

I think it was while I was covering for Shane last week that someone posted a selection on behalf of another player but failed to post one for himself. I wondered then about the LRF default in such circumstances where clearly the player had been able to post, but didn't.

And I take your point about the 1-hr Rule. If someone breaks it and there are subsequent races to select from then obviously the player is in a position to select. Slightly different in Poppydog's case though isn't it? He just missed the 1hr deadline for the last race and was therefore not in a position to select from any subsequent races. A case could certainly be made there for defaulting to the LRF, I would have thought.

In fact, it could be argued that once the 1-hr marker for the last race had been passed, Poppydog was already automatically on the LRF, and therefore any subsequent post by him was meaningless.

I think your last line is rather the point Poppydog. Must admit, I couldnt fathom why you'd posted that since it was going to be the case anyway

I'm curious about the other point you raised though.

If a player posts a comment on the thread and then subsequently fails to post a selection, does that mean he's ineligible to default to the LRF?
