once again I have several events not included because some TDs have not submitted their "final" TD Report.
I am a TD myself and I understand that sometimes life gets busy and we don't get things done as quickly as they could be. I completely understand that, and I'm not suggesting we unreasonably rush the TDs.
What I am here to question is why the PDGA feels it is necessary to withhold MY ratings update. All of the scores from these events are right there... on the webpage. I understand that withholding an event from a ratings update might be a good motivator for a TD to get his job done, but in the meantime it is only the players of those events that suffer. I am a current member and have been for many years and one of my main reasons for staying current is the ratings system... yet I am being punished for something I have zero control over.
Why can't these "still unofficial" events be processed like all of the other events? If the reason is because a TD somewhere hasn't sent in his money yet, then perhaps there should be another way to make sure these TDs pay up, but I think holding our ratings hostage is a horrible solution.
