It is unfair to penalize an entire team an entire season for a admin error that could not possibly and did not enhance their win/loss/tie performance.
Cancelling the results of an entire season is malicious & grossly unfair.
It goes against the whole intent of minor sports -- this is for players not league administrators ... surely adults of good will can see a path forward that retains respect for organizational rules and does not penalize minor players.
The "punishment" in this case far outweighs any infraction that may have occured.
There are many other ways to offer justice .. suspend a coach for a time require the team to jump thru admin hoops like submitting paperwork prior to playing for 10 games .. not to come up with an approach that fits the infraction and is imposed on the adults who were ill-disciplined is fair but not a whoe team of players.

Have the courage to do the right thing and show these young players that effort does equal reward. This is not rectified I’d be calling for those responsible to step down.

If it’s simply clerical error - why can’t it be resolved and let the team play - please!

This bogus penalty against the Ratlers, knocking them from their hard earned first place to out of the playoffs, is reprehensible, irresponsible, and embarrassingly immature. Let the kids play and enjoy their success. That the league would capitulate to a petty parent is contemptible.

Children should not have to pay the price for a clerical error. This is an unjust punishment and maltreatment of vulnerable youth.

The unjust treatment of the children is clear, and the GTHL's penalty excessive.
