Mike, our president quit after many years, in the beginning of the season. I was nominated and was the only one who didn't vote for me. Some of the others told me it was because I carry a rule book with me, don't cheat, speak up when I see someone cheating or being a jerk and have good sportmanship. I also didn't have a problem imposing our written rules like no pay, no play. Our rules state that if you are more than 1 week behind you can't bowl and forfeit your points. It cost my team 1st place but what's right is right.
The team that was in 1st was suppose to bowl a team that was 2 weeks behind and still didn't pay. I forfeited their points putting the 1st place team that much further ahead of us. We bowled them the next 2 weeks (as scheduled and position round) and would have taken 1st place if the forfeited team had earned just 1 point. In my mind though, that means there was a point or several we lost during the season that we should have won and that's what really cost us 1st place. I'm also president of one of our summer leagues but being a non-sanctioned league there is a lot less to be concerned about.
