Ticket says or someone famous sang "Ooomp, there it is!" Swat puts second chance in same match period into the rule book. He gets a win over Ticket in the first match period when agreed upon by tie-maker voter Mr. B approved of this rule. That's the one Ginobli returned to action after missing the first game of the match period. So E-Team needs to correct the standings with a win for Swat and a loss for Ticket.
Is that too hard to understand? My best, not worst, sub at a position of a DNP replacement would be supported by the standings leader and next victim of Ticket's rally squad. Rite Cap?

Tom is a very generous guy-In the spirit of Christmas giving he decided to give Sean a present(Didn't your folks tell you that stuff was for Goyim?It's a marketing device our relatives thought up like selling those shiny rocks/the rag trade and furniture on layaway!!)but should Swat get a present a win he couldn't get under the old rules?-Invaders believe the game should stay as already recorded in the standings-let the Christmas present for all be that we use the new rules on Christmas morning-at least that's the opinion of probably the only guy in our league who grew up celebrating BOTH holidays this time of year-as one of my close childhood friends always said I have a jew/gentile switch on the side of my body that I turn on/off as the situation requires
E Team says:
So Swat strides triumphantly through the crowd – like Harry Bailey at the end of “It’s a Wonderful Life” – and finally breathes life into the exciting new DNP rule. Yeah!
And here’s how the genius innovation actually fared while awaiting implementation.
In Match 14, Nitecap’s Melo and Swat’s Manu were announced as out for their first game of the period, but remained in their respective lineups, maybe as part of a Two Try strategy, maybe not.
Let’s say that Nitecap had in fact gambled with his injured player, signing up for the DNP and banking on the guy getting back in time for his next game. (He did and would have given Dave an easy victory if the rule had been in place.)
Hey, a team owner takes full advantage of the rules, that’s fine. But let’s not bullshit ourselves and call it DNP relief. There was no unforeseen absence. The injury to Dave’s player did not lead to a DNP; he created one for his own benefit.
Dave could simply have replaced the injured player prior to the deadline, the old-fashioned way, and would have won the match.
Now let’s say Swat, different scenario, didn’t know about his injury. A more watchful team owner pulls his guy and subs in the best replacement he has. That’s why we have rosters.
But under the new rules, the more neglectful owner gets bailed out, potentially getting an improved score from a guy he never even knew – or cared enough to know - was out. Welcome to Undeserved DNP Relief. You’ll love it when your opponent beats you with one of those.
Then there’s Match 15, which went this way:
Three DNPs, no second games, no relief.
Let’s recap: Two instances of using the new rule where no relief is needed or, arguably, deserved, and three legitimate, unforeseeable DNPs where absolutely nothing happened to make the victim more competitive.
We’ve really got the DNP problem under control now.
Happy Freakin' Holidays, you scurvy little humbugs.

E Team says:
Merry Christmas, gentile and otherwise, to all of my esteemed colleagues, from the entire E Team family.
Ticket says
E-Team's noisy yid comes about instead of using his genteel switch to trash the second chance rule.
He should have been the talking head on xmas day's nba tv extravaganza who said his favorite event in the season so far is Spur coach Pop benching his big 3 Spurs. Pat Riley got torn a new asshole for pulling that stunt on the last game of a season in the Memorial Colisseum. The logic behind Pop was the sked is unfair. So fans should pay more for tix and tv fees so the nba doesn't suffer back to backs? For whatever reason, the dictktator justifies a legit DNP-some shmuck in street clothes with a green ribbon for the New Town catastrophe missing a flight to make the next game on time (I made that up)- vs. an illegit DNP like Cousins telling Elliot to fart on his dick. Just play with even sides and stop worrying about who gets a second chance or not. It's a piecemeal solution to the ongoing problem. Ticket has had Mr. B and Swat beat him with the second chance and isn't complaining. P4 had a similar chance.
Hey Invaders, is Keith Smart Coach of the Year? Wasn't he one of four Hoosier team mates to go pro? Scott May, a guy named Abernathy and the other one escapes me.
E Team says:
Tom, nobody has beaten you with the second chance, you wacko, because it only went into effect in the current match. Your silly Santa Claus act of fake generosity - trying to arbitrarily award wins to other teams, which is reminiscent of the laughable failure of your brief stint as commissioner - was correctly overruled by the prime minister.
You're just feeling guilty because you've won three matches with scores in the 160s.
And I'm not really complaining about the Two Try system; other proposals were worse. I just find it amusing to put Dave's desperate crusade for DNP relief alongside the real-life response we've so brilliantly crafted, one that promises to do jack shit - or worse - more often than not.
Invaders know Eric isn't in Love(Kevin) w/the DNP rule and he doesn't see eye to eye(Kevin's) w/Dave on this issue-but this is the first match of offical 2nd chance points so no one has won because of that they won according to the old rules..actually there were only 2 "legit" DNPs last match Bosh and Love-the much (not Kevin)loved in Cleveland Brazilian missed Wednesday and was doubtful for Friday so 3 games in a row-Swat might be as much Uncle Billy losing that money in Potter's bank as George's brother Harry in "it's a Wonderful Life"but the analogy of what life would be like w/out someone(or something in this case)is spot on-Tom you have you're eras of Hoosier basketball mixed up-6 members of the '76 undefeated Knight team made pro(Buckner/Wilkerson/May/Abernathy/Benson and Laskowski)Smart's champs included Alford and Dean Garrett who went on to limited NBA careers -actually Alford was on the team 2 years before that won not that one I think
E Team says:
Don't forget the Colombian-born Magnus Pelkowski, who played professionally in Germany.
And Mark, I assume you've noticed that the Timberwolves have been starting five white guys, not counting when Kevin Love gets poked in the eye.
Who's gonna tell us when that happened last? The year before Bill Russell arrived in Boston? Cousy, Havlicek, Baily Howell, Tom Heinsohn and Don Nelson?
Invaders believe Russell's rookie year was '56-57 so contrary to what we tend to think of the Celtics they're not the whitest team-my first Celtic's squad I can remember is '62-63 w/ a lineup of Russell/Heinsohn/Tom "Satch" Sanders/Sam Jones and Cousy w/Havlichek 6th man playing bigger minutes at 2/3 than both Jones and Sanders(both black guys)the bench was nearly all white w/former starter Frank Ramsey/Clyde Lovelette/Luscotoff/etc. the one exception was Russell's college teammate at 2 time national champ USF KC Jones..the following season Cousy retired and KC Jones became the point-it was said that my Warriors Al Attles(known then as the "India rubber man" because he'd take a charge and then bounce miraculously back up to his feet from the floor)and Jones were the 2 greatest defensive guards of the early 60's...The Celtics were also liberal enough to draft a large black backup 5 to Russell in "65 who beacame a famous college coach John Thompson-Nelson was playing for the Lakers in the early 60's and came to the Celtics around 65/66 Bailey Howell was with the Bullets then and came around 65/66 as well those 2 took Sanders' and Heinsohn's jobs-so as far as I can tell you have to go back to 60-61 teams(not the Celtics) to find all white starting 5's-the first all black starting 5 I ever saw was the 65'/66 St.Louis Hawks(the league panicked moved them to Atlanta and fixed the draft so Maravich would play for them)the first all black starting 5 to win an NBA championship was the '67 76ers who beat my Barry/Thurmond led Warriors in 7 games for the title-Sixers started Wilt/Chet Walker/Luke Jackson/Hal Greer and Walli Jones-but we're acceptable because the 4th leading scorer was 6th man Billy Cunningham
