My wife is part of an on-line bingo and other game league. She hosts two tournaments each night. This is strictly for fun, and a volunteer thing. She doesn't get anything out of hosting other than chatting with her friends.
Tonight, one of the head administrators got all upset with her because a member who had not registered in time was not able to play in her second tournament. This upset Sandra very much. She tries so hard to keep the members happy, and it isn't easy getting players for the second tournament slot, so when there are enough, she closes and begins on schedule.
I don't think it was fair to yell at her because somebody couldn't register in time.
When something like this becomes more like a job than a hobby, when do you just say "to hell with it" and let it go? She really enjoys the league, and so many of the people she has encountered through it. It would be a shame to have her drop her hobby because somebody was upset one night.
I think we need to sit back and remember why we joined this league to begin with. If it isn't fun, what is the point?
