2009 DCL first round ended successfully, thanks to DCL committee. Its worth mentioning the hard work put in by Anand to come up with Schedule and always on time and Vijay puts in so much time (even driving to the city of Farmington and Livonia in the week days to pick up receipts and make sure all the teams have grounds to play). If we take out questioning umpiring abilities by some teams every thing went fine with just two incidents.
Now lets talk about complaints. One with PTS missing umpiring duties, which was the first official complaint of the year. DCL committee was quick to react and PTS ended up with decent amount of money as fine and additional duties of umpiring. League sent a clear message to teams about how serious they are about running the show.
The second was the fight between strikers and A2C2, I guess this the first time DCL received an official complaint by Umpire. Mr swaroop of Dark Horses was that unfortunate umpire. His email clearly state that somebody used “language unsuitable and not on par with the spirit of the game” and “There were talks of cracking somebody's skull, a fight after the game, calling 911 and deporting the whole team to India. Further, there were wickets raised for physical assault, payers were pushed, family background were commented on and swear words were extensively used.”
Anand from committee immediately responded requesting both teams not to respond to the complaint in DCL group, which I felt very good. This one happened on June 21st, one month gone and nobody knows what happened.
DCL family eagerly waiting to know what happened with this case. What was the out come of the complaint?.
Failure to answer this question leads to lot of assumptions, which is not good for DCL family. Luckily poor PTS was not involved in such a stupid act other wise committee might have been responded in no time with BIG and LONG mail… Sorry bunch of mails..
