This is my second year as SCCU County Match Controller.

But again, I think you're a lone voice in the wind, to some extent. No one else has complained about it at all; or at least, no one put it in the questionnaire responses. I have to put forward proposed solutions to the problems that many people are telling me are problems, and not just one person.
This season, my leniency over the late registration of an ungraded player was contested and went to the Appeals Committee. The player was defaulted and the opposing team awarded an addition game point as penalty.
So, I do sympathise with Roger over the strictness with which the rules are applied.
