Why not write to the CEO instead of ranting anonymously.

I agree with @the situation on this one.

3 seconds on google and bingo!!

Send it to him instead of being a dick!!

Great points there OP!

Hey BMF, yeah, you ya dick, oh and TS, the OP(that stands for "Original Poster" just in case you have no idea what that means, you dick) probably wrote it here because the CEO probably reads here, you dick! SIMPLE. Get with the program.

Agree - the timetable released today is like hide and seek - now you see me....oh....now you don't......why the f*ck bother paying fees to this joke of an Association?

Moron.

More effective if you're willing to put your name or avatar to it, though. Or at least state what your interest is (player? coach? parent? umpire? club official? failed applicant for CEO position? CEO of a competing sporting body?), so people can make an informed judgement of your motivation for posting. Hell, Derryn Hinch was prepared to go to jail for being seen to state his views openly. Posting a critical view anonymously reduces its weight significantly.

The content of the open letter isn't inappropriate. I just don't know why it wouldn't be addressed and sent personally to the CEO or anyone at BSA.

Below is a list of people who respond to open letters;

Someone could potentially make a similar list about changes achieved by underperforming organisations due to private letters received. How many calls are made and ignored in those types of situations?

I have no beef with BSA and can appreciate the scheduling challenges, but it's not as though this is the first complaint about delayed scheduling on Hoops - it's been happening for about 10 years. If the way teams are nominated and filled causes it, change that. There would have to be a way to do it and fix that problem.

Public letters and rallying of a community can realise change. I don't know if this is the letter to do it, but I wouldn't deny someone the attempt.

I agree with Isaac that people are entitled to post an opinion. Replies by people like weeeeeeee (which appears to be a bit of a rant) are not really necessary, but I recognise that some people are unable to supply a constructive reply.
The Situation - "Below is a list of people who respond to open letters;" - were you being facetious or did you forget something.
As most people have suggested "contact the CEO or whoever at BSA".
If you go to the BSA website you will find a "Contact Us" topic which leads to ALL THE STAFF with their email contact addresses. Try that, it may not work, you may or may not get a reply, but at least you have tried.

If you are from a club and you contact BSA directly expect a tap on the shoulder from the club as BSA will complain to your club is my guess.

And that's exactly what happens. Your club (like mine)may want to know why you didn't go through their admin. It's hard to keep everyone happy.

BTW have we all given up complaining about the atrocious scheduling of NBL games?
Have been told, directly from the office, that improvements will be EVERYWHERE next season.
It's just that the de-merger took so long/so late, that they couldn't change anything.
Honest....from the horse's mouth!!

An open letter is just a vent, which forums are good for, and get sweet FA done.
Email the person, call the organization. I know this happens in small associations because teams pull ut, teams go up a div, down, etc and hence they only release a few rounds.

More often than not it's the clubs who can't decide, don't nominate because kids/parents/players mess everyone around.

So weeeeeeee (that's really baby talk for a dick yeah?) jump up and down on a sex toy!!
