outraged

Yesterday, I had only 6 of 9 players at the Jr Boys Volleyball practice. And one of them showed up 40 minutes or so late. That was not what outraged me.

Today, the player who was late informed me that he could not play today. That was not what outraged me.

I asked the referee and was informed that I was not allowed to field only 5 players. I was forced to play players who had skipped/missed practice or default. I felt the latter option was unfair to the opposition who had travelled for a game and to the five players who had practiced.

The game started, I looked down the bench and saw my remaining two players. One was on the phone! The other was doing homework!

Not clear on the concept of team. Not even pretending to be interested in what their teammates were doing, cheering for them, supporting them, or even being prepared to substitute into the game.

I'm still seething.

I have clearly spent WAY too much time playing this game. It has taken me a LONG time to hit 10%. Especially since the stats always round down. I've been over 9.5% for quite a while. I believe it took me 60 or 70 tries to solve one.
