Part of the blame lies with me for not reminding David (I reminded the other guy who's not a regular on blonde). I'm happy for his players to go back in the player pool. I realise it's a tap in for the guy who got 16th pick to get Mahrez & that wouldn't have happened under normal circumstances, but had David been online for the draft the entire draft would've been different (he obv wouldn't have drafted Baba Rahman for instance).
We need to make a decision on this by Thursday evening so that if his players are released then they can be picked up on Friday's waivers. I think this needs to be a unanimous decision tbh, if anyone objects then we'll leave the team as a ghost ship. Whatever happens I'll front the £20 to keep the prize pool as advertised.
Definitely you shouldn't take the hit when your taking the time to run these comps, I agree with Brent it's a bit strange not to check itt for an update but just let David have a refund since it's clear like you say he wouldn't have picked Rahman etc and it's just meant to be a fun comp which got a bit messed up because of the host site.
Think you should just make the decision regards putting them back in the player pool since everyone won't have chance to reply by Friday.
