Marshals First Game Cancelled

[Gunsmoke]

The Marshals first game has been cancelled.
Just one of the many schedule changes to come or did their
opponent fold before the season?

Also the Marshals practice for Saturday and Sunday was cancelled.
Trouble or just because the freakin' circus was in town.
Surely they could have practiced somewhere. And since they have
around 12-13 coaches, somebody could have run the practice.

Good times.

If you fail to plan (funding requirements for each team), you plan to fail.

It's not Cincinnati's fault. You're opponent was going to be Hammond, which has been removed from the NIFL site and I believe is stillborn.

Looks like somemore teams will not make this year either. They should have a cut off date for teams before they release the schedules. Sure would help the league and the image that they have

The league is down to 22 teams with each remaining team playing 7 home and 7 away games.

Cut-off dates imply someone has knowledge of project planning -- ducks lined up philosophy with plenty of slack time built into the schedule from the start.

What happen with the Ghostriders in Carolina is a lack of project planning from the league's front office and for the individual team. The league can impose itself by inspecting each team for fitness. Each team MUST have its arena layout in place in AUGUST for show to a team of league inspectors. This includes an inspection of MATCHING uniforms for its players in its lockerroom.

If you can't meet the deadline, you sit the year out and try again next year. No more 11th hour episodes like we had in Dayton and now Carolina.

The schedule gets drawn up for those teams passing the inspection for fitness.

Do any of these people in charge have any business/organization background?

If you keep repeating the same process as you did in the past, why would you expect a different result?

Is it far better to have fewer teams in the league that are ready to go than to maximize the number of teams with teams that aren't ready/organized?

Folks this is basic project management. PERT is the means to success.

What is the definition of insanity?

oh... sorry... thought we were playing Jeopardy... ;-)

I'll take Indoor Football for $400 please, Alex.

Hence why the Intense Football League, though now small at just 6 teams this year...will eventually be a success...and why these teams left the NIFL.

The IFL requires a greater line of credit and more backing so things like what the NIFL goes through doesn't happen...at least they hope.

[fwp]

Lordy! Do you ever spend anytime on the IFL board?

I guess we'll see how things turn out.

I'm sure the owners that don't pay dues in your league, and their "special" friends, are having fun with other peoples money.........again!

So only 50% of your teams are in trouble instead of 80%. On the flip side, though, the NIFL is better positioned through numbers to survive losing a franchise than the Intense League.

[sportsguy]

If you can name the 50% of teams in trouble, I'd like to know...and of course the NIFL is better equipped to lose a team, because they give a team to anyone who has 10 bucks and lives in a city with an arena!

Now FWP, you can't be positive about every single thing in the NIFL, and then negative toward me...I told you I still have many friends in that league, and don't want to see it go down the tubes because of CS...

Plus, there isn't anyone ON the IFL boards.;)

Maybe because they know they will disappear the second the accusations start flying again...
