I host a monthly home league with 10 regular season games and then a championship game. Always 2nd Tuesday of the month. $30 buy-in with $5 going to championship pot and $25 for monthly pot. Top 10 in points make championship plus a playin game for two additional spots for people who made at least half the tourneys during the year who aren’t in top 10. Starting stacks in championship are weighted based on league points during the year. Average 15 guys, mostly close friends, family, a few guys from work and of course the friend of a friend guys.
I’m trying to figure out what to do if I can’t host on one of the set dates. Unfortunately my written rules don’t address this situation. I’m in year three and haven’t had to move a date yet and want to avoid as it could impact league results. Possible reasons to be unable to host include illness (like a horrible flu) or the actual situation I’m facing is a Hawaii trip this summer. Originally scheduled around the league but the trip recently needed to be moved up a week due to family considerations. I can cancel the June game, move it up a week, or have someone else volunteer to host? I could also offer refunds to people who feel like they were unfairly treated by the game moving from the date that was set before the start of the season? Also any suggestions on how to address this inevitability in my written league rules.
Thanks for your thoughts/experience in this tricky situation.
