Netcord Site User Features -------------------------
>> Existing Site Features
Important Sandbagging Information:
Netcord provides Sandbagging verification on its team websites as an added feature to our users to inform of potential illegal lineups with regards to league rules. However, there are a few important things to note about this feature. One, Netcord makes no guarantees and it is ultimately a captain's responsibility to verify lineup validity with Coordinator/Scorekeeper if there are any questions. Two, for the sandbagging feature to work correctly, ALL results MUST be entered throughout the entire season as pairings and results are how lineup validity is calculated.
We are continually working on updates for the teamsites and other sections of the site. Email us if you have something on your "Netcord Wish List!"

| A few articles ago I commented (tongue in cheek as the majority of the stuff I write is meant to be taken) on the size of Serena Williams's derriere. Now while most of you had the good sense to know that it was all in jest there were a couple of misguided souls who saw this as an opportunity to attack my character. I won't go into the various derogatory terms that were aimed in my direction. This is a free country and they are entitled to their opinions. If they are true to their word they no longer read anything that I write now anyway. So to the point of this column. As everyone knows Serena Williams made a triumphant return from last year's injury filled season to destroy Maria Sharapova in the Australian Open final. The focus of most everyone commenting seemed to be on Serena's seemingly lack of match fitness. Now for what Serena herself said in a recent Sports Illustrated article. These are direct quotes. "Am I not really fit or is it just because I have all these extra assets that I look not fit. I'm bootylicious". I'm not sure if that word is in the Oxford Dictionary (I didn't take the time to look it up) but I'm pretty sure she is referring to her butt. To hammer that point home is a final quote from the uncrowned number one player in the world. "It's just because I have big bosoms and I have a big ass". That's pretty much what I was trying to say in the first place. |
