Get your own damn fields
Last week, I received an email from an SBUL player (SBUL, whose season started a month ago), asking if his SBUL registration could be switched to an MPUL registration:

Is there any chance of "switching" from the SB to the MP? I assume that there
is a wait list for SB, and I'd love a higher quality game, and my dog ate
the homework, and
Since the leagues are separate leagues (my name happens to be associated with both of them, I only nominally run SBUL), I responded this week saying no:

Although my name is listed on both leagues, they are quite
separate. So, no, not really any chance. Sorry.
Kitt.
About 20 minutes after I told this guy no, the SBUL organizers get this email:

I signed up for SBUL because the MPUL were flaking and not so sure that it would happen. Then they cam
e to life, and my firends signed me up as a core member of their team. It's not that I don't like the
SBUL, it's really fun and lowkey. Perfect for the winter. But could I "sell" my spot to somebody on t
he wait list so that I can switch over to the other league? I'm sure you're aware that they play at th
e same time so doing both would end up screweing teamates in both leagues.
What is this guy thinking?!? Mom said no, so let me go ask Dad? He hasn't even signed up for MPUL, in the first place. In the second place, when he does, does he really think I'll just say, hey, it's okay if you insult me, I'll let you play anyway.
Go find your own damned fields, asshole.
And learn to spell weird.
