Think about it before you open your gob.

IMU Cup is finally over. It was a great event spanning around 2 months, and I am glad that I was a part of it, winning 2 medals and gaining lots of experience. Then like every event will come the complains, some legit, some bullshit. Some people and batches who don't have much or any experience in the sporting scene just want to make a big fuss out of something pointless. Unfortunately my batch is the one with the most complains. Again. Now don't get me wrong, I TOTALLY want my batch to win - heck I was totally bummed when they announced the cheerleading results and it dawned that our batch couldn't win the overall IMU Cup. However sometimes we just have to draw a line when taking sides.

Table tennis is one of the issues here. M107 (my batch) fielded an illegal player in the team, and hence we were demoted to 4th place instead of 3rd. From a sports point of view, any team with an illegal player should be disqualified and given 0 points. Agreed? A 4th place is already a good enough agreement but apparently not. Now the team comes, however, saying that they didn't know that the girl couldn't play for the team. This after it was already made clear to everyone by the IMU Cup committee which batch of bMed can play. Only the people in table tennis didn't know about this rule while ALL the other sport captains knew. It's pretty obvious who is to blame then huh. Furthermore, ignorance is NEVER an excuse in sports! There was an incident during an Olympic under-23 football qualifying match a few years ago, and a team fielded a 24-year old player. The entire team was DQ eventhough the players and the coach were not at fault. It was the football association of that country that made a mistake in registration. So coming back to M107, how can we not be DQ stating that we were ignorant??

True the fact that the older batch of bMed cannot play in the IMU Cup was not written down in black and white. The President of the SRC - whom I think with all due respect is wrong - thinks that everything must be in black and white for it to be legit. So in that case, I guess we can all write our answers down on our hands, foreheads, ass cheeks, tissue paper, handkerchiefs and stuff 'em in condoms which in-turn stuffed up our anus, and bring them into the exam halls, because it is not in black and white that we can't cheat with those methods. Seriously, I think we all need some sense of verbal agreement and common sense. Which the President thinks is lacking in us. Yes he said that. Pity, guess we are all going to be shit doctors.
