Important Decisions on a Violation

Hello CPLKC members, It was brought to our attention that a player, Phani Kosuru has played for 2 teams in CPLKC Summer tournament, for Mavericks (Div A) and KC Lions (Div C).Upon further investigation the CPLKC board has come to conclusion as follows. 
- The player Phani Kosuru has not informed Mavericks about his previous participation with KC Lions.
- Mavericks captain did not make sure a new player has not played for any other team in same tournament.
- Organizing committee member adding the player to Mavericks team at the team request using his admin privilege.
 
After discussions with Mavericks and teams that Phani Kosuru has played against while representing Mavericks, the following punishments are being handed.

Phani Kosuru is suspended for 2018 Summer tournament.
- Mavericks are docked  with 2 points for their negligence.
- Organizing committee will have new process to follow when it comes to modifying any team rosters.
- New rules will be added effective immediately to punish teams and captains for violations resulting from negligence or not.

Opponent teams have appealed to take away the points completely and credit them with the win. However, the impact of the player to win the game is a very subjective argument and can go either way. So it was decided that opponent teams will not be credited with the deducted points. The deducted points should be viewed as punishment for Mavericks negligence.

CPLKC requests all captains to make sure they do enough background check to make sure a player they add to their roster has not played for another team in the same tournament.

Thanks
CPLKC Board
