Starting half your team on bye is never recommended, but that’s exactly what happened in Thrice with Mexiq. The following four players on bye were left in the starting lineup:
Matt Ryan
Julio Jones
Matt Prater
ATL D
Thankfully Chris Johnson was active and put up the best game of his season so far to account for 25 of Mexiq’s 39 points. Final score: 79-39. For those wondering, the best players off the bench would not have netted a win. A fact not lost on Dan upon the commish levying a $2 fine for the roster violation:
I don’t know why I didn’t fix that, would have lost anyway so don’t feel so bad I was hung over and still coming down from my mighty Blue Devils football win on Saturday night.
Duncan & Kalb have offered to cover the $2 fine as a thank you for the easy week and remaining undefeated.
Shades
OUTRAGEOUS!! ONLY A $2 FINE?!! THAT KIND OF EGREGIOUS VIOLATION IS $20 FINE MINIMUM.
$2 is as much as we’ll cover…not a penny more!
This is third roster violation fine this season, for a whopping $6. Not only are teams giving away weeks, they’re devaluing the skins. Much like China, the QFL III is a currency manipulator.
