I don't understand why everyone is making such a big deal out of this "life commitments" stuff. Surely if something comes up and you can't come back to the game then just don't. Would you not rather take the odd loss and have a smoothly running game? The rankings really don't matter that much and you can easily climb them again. Anyway it would give you something to do when your commitments are over!

If people are that worried about rankings then they could play a friendly when they have work the next day and only play ranked games when they know they have the weekend or something.
