Commentary on Week 6

Sorry. Just a day late, Let's do this.

In the ASCDBL, The game ran smoothly until the 37 minute mark at which point something really bizzare occurred. The cones on the red side were knocked down but it was stated that a player 
deliberately knocked them down. I then did something that had no precedence. I asked the players if the player who knocked down the cones should be removed. There was a unanimous yes decision. So that was a no result and the clock still running was reset to 37 minutes. Chaos then occurred later on and so the clock was reset to 33 minutes. After that the game was usual then it went down to the wire, Red seemed to be continuing a regulation winning streak that was until the clock went to the last 5 seconds and a back wall happened. With no players out on each side the game went to 1 minute 3 elimination overtime. With no winner after this the game went to sudden death where Red won. 

Now on to the game which made the staffs Best and Fairests go out the window. It was a Thursday ASCBBL game. Very rare for the season and only the 2nd so far. The older players were doing great and had good sportsmanship, The little kids were the opposite to the extent that none of them got B and F points. 2 players in particular did wonderfully and Red had a W10 streak. I felt that 3 players deserved 3 points. So I asked if that was possible and one of the staff (S1) wouldn't let me award 2 players them (READ BELOW TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED) 
I then announced it with that exact staff member telling me not to say who else I would've given points.  I said who I would've awarded them and as I was walking to the scoring desk to get my things another staff member (S2) said I went against S1's wishes. I then said S2, I DONT NEED A LECTURE! Right in front of everyone and then I said "See ya next week!" and left SN Center with my things enraged. I soon came back saying I would go against S1's decision. S1 then said a few things and then I pointed at S1 & S2 saying "I'm still annoyed at both of you" then left again. I then went to the office and opened the B & F Results box and wrote 5 players down for 3 points and alas my point below.

Guys, Everyone has bad moments. That was mine, I won't announce anymore until the Thursday after the seasons end (Commentating continues) Also, I will take over B and F results. I swear bias won't be there. I wear grey for a reason and if I wear a colour I will cover it with a jacket. 

Anyway, That's my piece tonight. See ya next week.

NOTE: I'm not mad at my co-ordinator in fact I'm quite happy with her. One more thing to everyone: PLEASE CONSULT ME ON HOW MUCH TIME IS LEFT! I have the timers in front of me so if your planning free time please ask because there have been some issues. Now that is my end piece. Goodnight.
