I will stick with ... using a single thread for the Sunday game(s) but indicating "4 or 5 pm" to allow players to state if they are available for both, either, or only one. If by Friday, it looks like there will only be enough for one game, the 4 to 5 pm game will be cancelled.

....

There are two slots available:

* 4 to 5 pm
* 5 to 6 pm

[red]Please indicate if you can play either, both or only a specific one (4 to 5 pm or 5 to 6pm).[/red]

Priority & Numbers

[green]We can go up to 32.[/green] We will have two games if we get up to 28 (with those available for both games counting as 2). [green]If we have less than 28, only the 5 to 6 pm game will go ahead, with the first 16 available for that game.[/green]

If there are two games, those who put their names down for both can only be in reserve for the 5 to 6 pm game.

Payment

[Premier Pitch @ Turf City] say that with the new head tenant, their rental will go up 350% from March 2012. Not only have the Turf City people increased their prices but they have reduced some of the small discounts I get for bulk booking and paying in advance. Their prices to me have gone up by 20 to 28%.

With effect from 1 March 2012, I have to put up the price for games at Turf City by $2 per player. That's a 17% increase for the Saturday game and an 18% increase for the Sunday game, a lower percentage increase than Turf City's increase to me.

That will be $14 per player for the Saturday game and $13 per player for the Sunday game (with effect from March 2012).

There will be new pitches at Turf City over the next two to three months, which will be cheaper, but they will be uncovered, so they may not be suitable for afternoon/evening games at the weekend.

[red]$13 for Sunday.[/red]

Modes of payment are set out under the "Current balances & payment information" thread on the "Payment Information" board" under the "Administration & Overview" category.

You can also check your current balance under the same thread.

Venue

Premier Pitch @ Turf City.

Withdrawals & Cancellations

If a player withdraws, any prepayment will remain to his credit. However, there will be a penalty of between $1 and $4 for withdrawals less than 6 hours before the game, the later the withdrawal, the greater the penalty. If a player does not withdraw and I am unaware that the player failed to turn up, the full price will be deducted. The amount will be reduced if I am informed, and an explanation provided.

The game may be cancelled due to lack of numbers or for any other good reason. 24 hours notice will usually be given for cancellations, but it may be less for reasons beyond my control.

System, Rules & Principles

Please read the General Information and Playing Rules & Principles posts first. Your participation in our games depends on it.

Line Ups, Punctuality & Previous Games

Proposed line ups will be put up a few hours before the game. If there are an odd number of players, the proposed line ups may be delayed until we have an even number of players.

Those playing, please be early, to warm up and meet the other players. Even though a specific colour may be assigned to each player before the game, please bring both a white top and a red top.

If you have played over the past week, please add your comment on the report thread. Comments will be taken into account in future line ups.

Not enough for two games, so we'll go ahead with the one game from 5 to 6 pm.

Two regulars voted as selectors by the other players, and then selecting their respective teams, is the way forward. ....

It should be the norm by the second half of this year. Once it becomes more regular, I may start tabulating the wins, draws and losses for team selectors.

We'll try it out from next month onwards:

* If by 48 to 36 hours before the game, the minimum number is reached, I'll put up a poll to the schedule thread to vote for team selectors. Only approved regulars will be included in the poll.
* All approved players down for the game (including reserves) can vote (2 votes each).
* I will lock the poll 7 to 5 hours before the game. The two regulars with the most votes will be team selectors (minimum 2 votes each). In the event there is a tie for places, the player with more games over the current 6 months will be elected. The two team selectors then agree on the line ups, and post it on the message board. The two selectors cannot be on the same team. If they can't agree before the game is due to start, then get to the pitch early and sort it out there.
* A player can decline to be team selector by indicating it against his name when he puts his name down (in which case, I will not include him in the poll), or anytime after up to 3 hours before the game, by posting on the schedule thread (in which case the next in line steps in - again, minimum 2 votes).

If we don't get two selectors, either because players don't get enough votes, or players decline to be selectors, I will suggest line ups as I do now. However, the line ups may be delayed to less than 3 hours before the game.

The responsibilities of the team selectors:

* Agreeing on balanced line ups, and making the necessary adjustments for late withdrawals, no shows or players unable to continue during the game.
* Having the final say on team organization, formation and tactics for their team.
* Ensuring that for their team, goalkeeping duties are rotated.
* Reminding players, especially those on their team, to play to the rules, especially not to slide or commit other bad tackles.
* Playing in the right spirit, and reminding their team mates to do the same.

For taking on additional responsibilities, the two team selectors will be given $2 credit each. I know it's token, but it's better than nothing.

If the scoreline is too one-sided, the credit for both selectors will be reduced by $1 as they didn't balance the teams well enough.

If other issues arise during the game resulting from a team selector failing in his other responsibilities, the credit for that selector may also be reduced by $1. If a selector feels that a player on his team repeatedly ignores his exhortations to play by the rules or in the right spirit, he can provide me with the details and I will remind the player concerned. If there was any reduction in credit for that selector in this regard, it may be reversed.

I've added the poll. I've left Danny out as he hasn't registered yet.

can I join for the Sunday game tomorrow 5pm
