Alternate Opponents for Wargameroom League Members

League members are of course asked to do their best to meet up with their regularly scheduled opponents!  However, for even the most well-intentioned of league members, sometimes this is not possible.  For those who cannot find an opponent and who are behind schedule, there are two options:

Option 1: Be online in the Wargameroom Chat Room on the night of the league deadline (Sunday, 8 PM Eastern Time [GMT - 5 normally, GMT - 4 in summer]), and you will either receive a substitute opponent, or be excused from the game.  All league members with remaining games on their schedule are encouraged to show up for these deadline events to be available as substitute opponents.

...or, if Sunday night 8 PM Eastern is not a good time for you:

Option 2: Send an e-mail to the league's mailing list, giving everyone at least 48 hours advance notice of a specific time that you will be online and available to play.  As with option 1, you will either receive a substitute opponent, or be excused.  Again, all league members are encouraged to show up at these times to help.

Only players who are in danger of falling behind may have a Deadline Event.  However, almost any league member can be a substitute opponent if they show up at another player's Deadline Event.  Players with forfeits: the only way you can make up forfeits is by being a substitute opponent!

If you have scheduled a Deadline Event, please be on time!  You are required to wait 15 minutes if no one has shown up for the Deadline Event.  You are allowed to wait as long as 30 minutes, but no longer.
 
Here is the priority order for who you should play if more than one league member shows up: 
 
1: Players who are currently on your schedule: your choice if more than one
2: Players who have forfeits: player with best league record if more than one
3: Players who have games remaining on their schedule: player with best league record if more than one
4: Players who have excusals on their record: player with the best league record if more than one
 
Players who do not have any games, excusals, or forfeits may not act as substitute opponents.
