Rules on who you can pick

    How was I supposed to know what a test is though.

    I researched him and it had a cap for England and a match against Wales. How am I supposed to define what a test is or not, you didn't specify against France/NZ/Aus before.

    McCarthy Scarsbrook and Tickle are out, but Dowes was eligible at the time of being picked (despite me not knowing much about him and him not being eligible now) so he's fine.
     
  3. Cribbage RG Cribb

    No, but I did specify a Test, and it wasn't a Test. Up to you to do the research. Pick again.

    It says a match against another successful team, and Wales is as far as I know a successful team, seeing as they were in the world cup.

    FTR, are you basing this on now when you've changed it to matches vs Only NZ/Aus/GB or are you saying that I was wrong before.

    Some games are given Test status and some aren't. It's up to the RLIF at the time.

    I'm not applying new rules retrospectively here... he was ineligible even when you picked him, under the old rules I posted before the draft had started.

    As far as I know, Dowes is the only player who was eligible when picked and ineligible now. He doesn't need to be re-picked.

    YUS!

    But why should I pay the consequence of losing 13 or so rounds in the drafting order, of not only my fault but fault of others to miss what by me was a harmless mistake. Nobody was there to point out my mistake, infact, another person even wanted that very player.

    And I'm sure Scarsbrook match would've been counted as a test, according to Wikipedia's definition of a test.

    Yeah but as stated, it is not our duty to search if your players are eligible.
     
  9. Lukic L Popovic

    But if there is discrepancy subject to a players availability, is not up to the person themselves who made the pick but the authority or others to pass a judgement.

    It is unfair that I/Fung made a pick back then and as a result of other unawareness and a supposed misjudgement, we have to pay 15 or so rounds in the draft for this, especially in my instant when before recently there was no clear ruling on what a test match meaning my player was technically eligible by representing their country in what was deemed to be a test match against a nation not now considered in the criteria.

    It's your responsibility to make sure that your pick is eligible. It's up to you though. You can just keep him and the player will have 0 for everything and be crap.
     
  11. Lukic L Popovic

    I did all on my part by picking a player who by what definition of a test was offered to me and I understood, was an eligible player and until now, I was not told he was ineligible.
     
  12. Ged GEC King

    He has never played a test under any definition.

    It was a warm-up match against Wales. In no way was it a 'test'.

    According to this (My only source until someone proves otherwise) match between 2 successful nations is considered a test, despite England not being at full strength.

    If someone can give me a true written definition from an official source on the net, I'll eat my crow and give it up. If not, I'll keep on fighting until I get fair compensation.
     
  15. Tartmaster AJ James

    It's a test when RLIF say it is.
    That match wasn't.
    And if a half-strength England can beat them 74-0, hardly a sucessful team.
     
  16. Lukic L Popovic

    It was 48-12.

    I've seen Rugby League matches end in 56-10 etc etc and it's not as though they aren't considered NRL matches.
     
  17. Ged GEC King

    It's like arguing that a few years back when Australia played France in between games of teh tri-nations and played all their back ups, that they should all be given test caps. retarded.
     
  18. Lukic L Popovic

    Kinda hard to see that when the RLIF site is retarded, but I'll say ok.

    Still, it is wrong for me to lose my 14th round pick over a misunderstanding.

    Why do I have to lose this but those who have their error pointed out suffer no consequences.
     
  19. Ged GEC King

    Listen Lukic, you're not going to be able to argue it. Give up and pick again before other ****s start picking and taking your player.
