Bit of a tough one.
The last round of the pairs matchplay had to be played by the 31st May. We got our game played well inside the time limit, and were hoping the two pairs in the match above would do the same. Both myself and my playing partner are out of the country for two weeks this month, missing almost 3 weeks of the 30 days available.
By the 1st June no names had been put forward from the match, and by mid-week that week there was a black line put through the box by the organiser. I was in for lunch, spotted this and put our names into the next round.
In the club today, and find the line snowpaked out and a match to play. Apparently the previous match was played on time but the result not put forward till last weekend.
I fly out to Ireland in the morning, and my PP is off to China mid-week, the earliest we can play is the 27th/28th, but not the last two days.
I'm in two minds; 1) Take it on the chin and just play the match, 2) Have a right good whinge to the Comps, and then play the match. As for should the (previous) result of no names through stand, I just can't be 'arrised arguing about it...
One thing's for sure, it's certainly reminded me why I stopped playing pairs matchplay for years. What a flamin' spheriod ache getting these games sorted!
