i am league leader at 2 leagues, and one of them (NOT the cedar grove one...the other one) is owned by a total jerk who refuses to listen to any of my input. he does not go by the "read me first" documents, and because there is only 2 hour a week league sessions, people cannot earn their badges. does he care? no. so, even though the kids have not realized it, they will not be getting their badges. he says that whoever hasn't gotten their badges will get them by earning them in next year's league, which really only helps him because he charges $5 a week for league (including from me, the only professor there). he blames me that kids barely show up for league anymore, and that some just don't come anymore. he says it is my fault because of this because i run two leagues, and he thinks i tell the kids of my other league (NOTE: i do NOT do any sort of thing. i know that would be the wrong thing to do as it would jeapordize his business).
let me also add that he is incredibly lazy when it comes to reporting the league seasons. when we went to report the fortune island season (finally, after telling him for weeks that we should report it), the system said that the next kit we were going to have sent to us would be trainer tower--the final season (and the season after quest island). because he has procrastinated so long, we missed the deadline to order quest island. i have spent my entire week fixing this problem, while he sat on his butt and didn't care. in the end, BigDaddySnorlax is sending us the quest island kit, so we are set with that.
now, you may ask why do i keep going to this league? because of one reason:
the kids need me there. without me, they wouldn't have anyone to care about rulings. without me, there wouldn't be anyone to teach the kids how to play. thats why i still go and put up with his junk, and, at the same time, all the kids love me there.
so, i think i have earned the right to staff at worlds. i will even work for free, as long as i get to help. dave and mike both know me and i am sure they will let me help out.
