your numbers

I arrived in Norman early today (~430) and was rewarded with being locked out of the house I sleep in. Anyway, to kill time I thought I would go ahead a post the numbers so far. I didn't include Meuki (if thats how you spell her name) since shes only played a few games. At the rate shes going though, she might become a fairly regular (and good) player. Heres the numbers:

Jake: 29/36= 81% (6/12 games= 50% standing)
Jumpy: 50/54= 93% (9/12= 75%)
Mark: 29/48= 60% (8/12= 67%)
Morris: 32/54= 57% (9/12= 75%)
Todd: 50/72= 69% (12/12= 100%)

If you remember, we actually changed our standing rules. We decided to lessen the standard from 75% to 66% of the season games. This though makes an akward game play number of 13. 5 games. As said before its within reason, so I guess it doesn't matter anyway.

But this does bring me to a new point. We have several issues that come up, and we never really decide on anything. Are balls that haven't gone through the first wicket (or hoop) be in play? I don't think they are, as the ball has only been hit, but hasn't done anything else to suggest it has began the game.

Another issue is standing. I don't want to go through another senario like we did with season 2. We need a definate system, and we needed one in the first season. For Jake to come into standing, he has to play 7 of the 8 games (that would bring him up to 13 games). But what if he plays 12? 11? Can we (or do we) decide on what is "reasonable"? Is "within reason" 10 games? I for one don't really care that much on this issue, but I need some feedback from everyone else. One thing that might help is looking at professional golf. If you are in the PGA, do you have to play every tournement? If not, then how does the system work?

I'll post later when I get some more questions we need to answer thought out.
