Matching is in progress, and we should have your assignments out shortly! Initial pinch hits will follow.
We'd also like to announce some updates and clarification to our makeup assignment rules.
First, we've reviewed and updated our makeup assignment policy for assignments in general. Moving forward, if you default after the no-penalty default deadline, then before you are able to sign up for the next year's round you are required to complete your original assignment. The deadline for makeup assignments each year is the day before signups open for that round. After the first year, you can make up the assignment by completing a pinch hit or a treat in any subsequent round, instead of your original assignment. (This means that if you defaulted late in 2021 or earlier, you can sign up in 2023 if you complete a treat or pinch hit in this year's round.)
Second, we've realized our FAQ isn't clear about whether the default deadline & makeup assignments apply to pinch hits, so we've taken the opportunity to discuss that rule. Moving forward, defaulting on a pinch hit will not require a makeup assignment, and the FAQ has been updated to clarify this. This also applies retroactively to any pinch hits you may have defaulted on in the past.
Please note that posting a placeholder or incomplete work at the deadline and failing to update it when contacted, or posting a work at the deadline and deleting it without replacement, are exceptions to the above. These are not allowed.
As always, if you have questions about your default status from prior years or would like to use an old assignment as your makeup work but don't know if the recipient is still interested, please email us to discuss!
