I had a game on Tuesday with 11 people signed up for it. I checked this before I left for the course - so on the day of the game itself. One person did not turn up as they had got the time wrong. I went to give this person a No Show, but they had removed themself from the game so I was not able to.
So it would seem that this feature gives the list of people on the game at the time you go to the No Show page, and not the list of people who were actually signed up to the game on the day it was played irrelevant of whether or not they cancelled later. This means that anyone who does not turn up can avoid the No Show simply by removing themself on the day and that surely can't be right.

I agree.
Maybe the list of players should be set 24 hours before the event, then people would not be able to remove their name from an event and avoid getting a no-show.

This is an interesting one and it's all about who should be the arbiter of whether someone's non-attendance at a game should be considered as a 'No-Show' and on what basis ? If someone removes themselves from a game the day before is that a No-Show? or does it depend on how serious the game is (eg a competition where names have been drawn is more serious than a midweek friendly where 6, 8 10 or 12 people may turn up).
What's the feeling from other members. Should we have:
1/ Allow the Organiser to indicate anyone who ever joined the game as a No-Show if they think it appropriate?
2/ Allow the Organiser to indicate anyone who cancels within 24 hours of a game as a No-Show?
3/ Another option?
What do you think would be fair without being a silly lot of rules - which is not what we're about :)

I think a No-Show should be exactly that - if someone has put their name down and is expected to play, but let you down without making the effort to inform you - that's a no-show. Mishaps and mistakes happen, and I'm sure that the majority of people on here would notify the game organiser as soon as possible if they can't make it, assuming it IS possible to do so. As far as I'm concerned, there are enough rules and penalties to contend with on the golf course, without adding to them................

I had this problem as well today. I was not contacted by the "no show" (altho he has my mobile number) and when I got back home the cancellation was timed at 13.33 when the tee off time was 13.10!!! The astute amongst you will not have to try too hard to work out who the "no show" was!
TSG techies - this loophole needs to be resolved please.

Our proposal would be to provide the Organiser the ability to indicate anyone who ever joined the game as a No-Show if they think it appropriate. This then leaves it to the judgement of the Game Organiser.
Sound appropriate?

I am happy with this and think that it is the best/simplest solution to a thorny issue.
Thanks.

Sounds good to me.......unless of course the game organiser doesnt show up!
On a serious note, good solution!

I have to say that I disagree with this. If you leave it to the organiser, then No Shows will become completely subjective and therefore this runs the risk of inconsistency - i.e. one organiser gives someone a no show for pulling out on the day and another for pulling out with 3 weeks notice. This is a difficult area and I don't think that there is an perfect answer. My suggestion would be the system generates a No Show for anyone pulling out with less than 24hours notice, with the option for the Organiser to override should there be exceptional circumstances to be taken into consideration. -- 18/08/2009 18:49:31: post edited by Frances Pendle.
