That went to the entire board but probably not to Jeff.<br>
<br>
They weren't placed on the team without asking if it was okay. They were
asked on Mar 27th if it was okay via email. <br>
<br>
Specific quote from that email: "Nelson Davis and Bill Campbell were
looking for teammates. Would you be up for teaming with them? I think
you would make a very strong bracket B team."<br>
<br>
There were then follow up emails about who the captain involved would
play with as they were asking a few different partners to convince them
to play the round robin.<br>
<br>
At the end of the day, I just want the event to run smoothly and for
people to have fun. I don't want to punish a pair who just wants to play
with the pair they picked as I'm excited to have them give the round
robin a try. My main priority is to have Nelson and Bill have a great
experience as well as they've both been incredibly helpful, friendly,
and flexible throughout and if anyone deserves to have a fun round robin
experience this season it is them.<br>
<br>
Already had some good names/ideas from people responding, so will give
those a try once I talk to Nelson (he got in late last night).<br>

on this. I was asked about what to do in this situation by the team
involved. And their story is different than Eric's. According to their
team captain, Eric placed the pair on the team without asking them if
it was ok. And they didn't want them on the team. So I advised them to
tell Eric that. So after seeing Eric''s letter I'm not sure exactly
what went on here. </div></div>

<br>
Shooting to board and some others who might have ideas because they know
<br>
people :)<br>
<br>
I had a complication come up today. I had a B team lined up for a round <br>
robin of two pairs who were looking for teammates and were happy to play
<br>
with each other. A few days ago (well after Round Robin signups ended), <br>
one pair informed me they wanted to play with a different pair. When we <br>
talked they said they were fine running it as a 6 bagger, which didn't <br>
seem like a problem.<br>
<br>
Today they informed me that they weren't okay with a 6 person team and <br>
were going to be a 4 person team with the new pair instead, which leaves
<br>
the other pair who did nothing wrong on their own without a team.<br>
<br>
None of the remaining teams in B that are at 4 had expressed interest in
<br>
more than 4 when I talked to them, so the best solution would seem to be
<br>
finding another pair to make a new team. However, I'm not sure who else <br>
to reach out to at this point. Building the existing 24 teams exhausted <br>
pretty much all my ideas of people who might play or be otherwise <br>
interested in the Round Robin.<br>
<br>
However, while I know a lot more people than I did two years ago, there <br>
are still many that I don't know very well who could easily be <br>
interested. Does anyone have recommendations on people to reach out to <br>
or other partnerships that might be interested?<br>
<br>
As an FYI, here's the spreadsheet of current teams along with some names
<br>
of people I've reached out to previously as part of the build process: <br>
