[IBL] Hello and Thoughts on Ballot Voting

[Russell Peltz]

The Constitution has rules for when playoff series results are due, but we
haven't strictly enforced them.  If there are consequences for late playoff
results, I will make sure to enforce the deadlines.  If someone is not
making themselves available to play a playoff series FTF in a timely
manner, their opponent will be allowed to play the games by MIS.  The
Constitution specifies two weeks to play a five-game Wild Card series and
three weeks for all other series, which allows plenty of time to complete
them.
