Goalie canceling less than 24 hours before game time

The website just told me that my ability to sign up for future games will be penalized if I cancel my game tonight. I certainly understand the importance of goalie attendance and I get why goalies who cause a game to be played without 2 goalies should be given some kind of consequence. But I have never canceled a game without lining up a qualified substitute to take my place. Why should I be penalized for canceling if a qualified substitute has already signed for the backup goalie spot?

This is the reply I got from JMS support Hi Jonathan, in this case there was a backup so the message is not correct. You should be able to see your 30 day goalie history when on our site as well. When looking I see this cancelation did not impact your eligibility to sign up 4 weeks in advance. Thanks for having someone lined up. Rick

Hey Rick, I have moved to Florida for a new job and live there now. I'm able to come back to Apple Valley every 4 weeks to spend a 4-day weekend with my wife. She and I really enjoy me playing that Friday night pickup game at St. Louis Park. But the website won't let me sign up 4 weeks ahead of the game any more. Am I stuck with this restriction forever? Is there anyway I can improve my standing given that I only play 1 game a month now? I'd be happy to pay a fine or make a donation if that is an option. I'm playing down here too so I can improve my game and keep in shape. Thanks, Jonathan
