Ask yourself an honest question.
Do you think this is the right decision, to aid the playability of the game?
Metro/FSB could have stuck by the original gameweek deadines and annoyed a lot of causual FF people (maybe work leagues at stake etc) who may have voyed never to play the game again.
Most people, (The exception being FISO Geeks such as myself) will not read in full the rules and regulations and are just casual players. FF games also need the casual player for them to be succesful and so it follows that that more professional players (The FISO Geeks again) need the caual players to also play, if the games are to continued to be run and prizes to be collected.
Thats my thoughts anyway.
Be honest,
Did you ask the question for the good of the game or for your benefit?
Why didn't you ask the question at the start if you were concerned about them changing the rules part way through and why did you give them an answer to your question unless you were wanting to influence the decision?
My opinion is that you should never change the rules part way through as it just causes aggrevation and unfairness for someone. Even if it's a bad rule just leave it be, as at least it's a bad rule for everyone rather than cause an injustice to someone.
I'll be honest, I think this will disadvantage me slightly but I probably was going to win anything anyway but that's not influencing my opinion as I always think the same and that rules should not be changed, especially after the off. I had been using half of my transfers to get my team ready for the next stage rather than grab as many points as possible during the early stages and not using many captain changes, although with the top players invariably scoring more than 50 this was probably hurting me. That was just my choice of how to play the game, after finding out at the end of round 1 that you didn't get the transfers until after the start of the first ganme of the next round, and score best from how the rules were set but now the goalposts have been moved slightly to the advantage of those who had been using their transfers and not planning for the future, especially with Russia going out and now not being in the first QF.
It would have been interesting though to see how close the tortoises could have got to those out front.
