* 3 points for a win (WIN or BWN).
* 2 points for a draw (DRW).
* 1 point for a loss by 1 to 3 goals (LSS).
* 0 points for a loss by 4 or more goals (BLS).

Although they score the same number of points, wins by 4 goals or more (BWN) are listed separately from wins by 3 goals or less (WIN) so that they can be matched against BLS and LSS.

Players are listed by Average Adjusted Points (AAP) - Total Points/(Number of Games +2) x 100

In the event of the AAP of two or more players being equal, one selector will be placed ahead of another in order of the following criteria:

1. Greater number of games played.
2. Better goal difference.
3. Greater goal average.
4. Better results of games between the selectors.
5. Toss of a coin.

Criteria for inclusion:

* Both team selectors are experienced.
* Most of the players are regulars.
* Everyone playing has played at least 5 times before, 3 times in the current 6 month period, and at least twice in the particular game (date/time/venue)

If there is any significant incident during the game which substantially distorts the balance of the teams, the fairness of the game, or the result, the game will be excluded.

If any team selector wishes to appeal against the inclusion or exclusion of a result, please post below. If you wish to contest the result or score, post on the report thread for the particular game within 7 days of the result being included.

More information on included results and the team selectors table can be found on the "Keeping score & the competitive edge" thread.

Games per week in February 2013;

* 2 to 7 Feb 2013: The basic 6 games, with the game on Thursday at East Coast.
* 9 to 14 Feb 2013: With Chinese New Year falling on Sunday and Monday, and Tuesday a public holiday in lieu of Sunday, 3 games only - the usual game on Saturday, an extra game at Turf City Tuesday evening and the usual game on Wednesday. Also no game on Thursday (Valentine's Day).
* 16 to 21 Feb 2013: The basic 6 games, with the game on Thursday at East Coast.
* 23 to 28 Feb 2013: 5 games - the usual games on Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday, with the game on Thursday at Khalsa. The game on Monday was cancelled due to rain.

20 games in February 2013, higher than the 18 in February 2012 but less than the 25 in February 2012.

We lost a few games due to the Chinese New Year long weekend, and a rare cancellation due to rain.

Games per week for March 2013:

* 2 to 7 March 2013: The basic 6 games, with the Thursday game at Khalsa.
* 9 to 14 March 2013: 7 games, with both games on Thursday.
* 16 to 21 March 2013: The basic 6 games, with the Thursday game at East Coast.
* 23 to 28 March 2013: 5 games, with no game on Wednesday and the Thursday game at Khalsa a 6-a-side. The long weekend for Good Friday/Easter Sunday may have been a factor.

Despite that, 26 games in March 2013, up from 21 in March 2012 and 23 in March 2011.

Games per week since 30 March 2013:

* 30 Mar to 4 Apr 2013: 7 games, with both games on Thursday.
* 6 to 11 Apr 2013: The basic 6 games, with the game on Thursday at East Coast.
* 13 to 18 Apr 2013: 4 games, one each on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Thursday (at East Coast).
* 20 to 25 Apr 2013: 7 games, with both games on Thursday.
* 27 Apr to 2 May 2013: The basic 6 games, with the game on Thursday at East Coast.

Having no games at Kallang on Tuesday, 16 April 2013, and at Khalsa on Wednesday, 17 April 2013, and no game at all at Khalsa that week, came as somewhat of a surprise.

Even with a match at The Grandstand on Wednesday, 17 April 2013, I'd have thought that at least one of the Tuesday game at Kallang or the Thursday game at Khalsa would have gone on.

However, we did manage 7 games the week after, as well as two weeks before.

We managed a total of 25 games in April 2013, up from 24 in April 2012 and 21 in April 2011.

For the week from 4 to 9 May 2013:

* The Saturday and Sunday games at The Grandstand went on as usual.
* The Monday night game at East Coast was switched to a small pitch, as we were stuck on 10.
* Joel C tried to organise a farewell game for Murray at Kallang on Tuesday, but with the 7 other names he put down withdrawing (including Murray himself!), it looked like the game might not go on. However, we managed to get replacements, the last one at 7 pm, ad the game went ahead 5-a-side as usual.
* With withdrawals, we relied on Jon Soh bringing in 3 friends to make a 6-a-side at Khalsa on Wednesday, the last one coming in at about 7.30 pm.
* we managed two 7-a-side games on Thursday, one at Khalsa and one at East Coast.

Someone bizarrely, after struggling to keep the games on Monday to Wednesday on, we had 28 players and 2 games on Thursday, for a full complement of 7 games over the week.

For the week from 11 to 16 May 2013:

* Injury to Jye last Saturday at The Grandstand.
* Tuesday game at Kallang filled up late.
* After struggling to get to 12, Wednesday game at Khalsa rained out.
* Only one game on Thursday, at Khalsa, as no pitch available at East Coast.
* Sunday game at The Grandstand and Monday game at East Coast, went on as usual.

For the week from 18 to 23 May 2013:

* Another injury at the game at The Grandstand last Saturday, this time to Brendan, but not so bad this time, he is back in time for the game today (Sunday).
* Game on Sunday at The Grandstand only filled up at 3.40 pm.
* Game on Monday at East Coast cancelled - stuck on 8 and no small pitch available.
* With 4 switching over from Monday, we had enough for the game on Tuesday at Kallang.
* For the game on Wednesday at Khalsa, we were stuck on 11 players until 5 pm. We got 3 more players between 5 and 6 pm to get us to 14.
* Being the eve of Vesak Day and before a long weekend, both Thursday night games were cancelled.

For the week from 25 to 30 May 2013:

* Incident free game at The Grandstand last Saturday.
* A little controversy about calling fouls in the Sunday game at The Grandstand, but it appears to have been cleared up.
* No game on Monday at East Coast, with numbers falling from 10 to 7 on the day on the game.
* Tuesday game at Kallang filled up late, but in the end, there was even a player left on waitlist.
* Even after 2 withdrawals (including 1 guest), 2 players left on waitlist for the Wednesday game at Khalsa. The game had 3 new guest players.
* East Coast regulars v The Rest for the Thursday game at Khalsa.

Second week in a row without a game at East Coast.

For 1 to 6 June 2013:

* No beers despite Babs playing, and a low 2-1 scoreline for the Saturday game at The Grandstand.
* Tim T the man-of-the-game in the Sunday game at The Grandstand as Whites win comfortably against a strong Reds team.
* On Monday, finally a game at East Coast after 2 weeks without a game at East Coast, albeit a one-sided one.
* Dave H blames bald guys for his team's poor showing on Tuesday at Kallang.
* Experience defeats youth in an an enjoyable game on Wednesday at Khalsa.
* David T and friends, colleague, and wanna-be-friend defeat the rest in a close game on Thursday at Khalsa.

The two games at Khalsa took place in very similar circumstances - rain in the late afternoon/early evening, continuing until around 8 pm, but both games went ahead and turned out to be good games despite the wet conditions. Main difference might have been the ball used - a regular football on Wednesday and a reduced bounce size 4 ball on Thursday.

For 8 to 13 June 2013:

* Good games on Saturday and Sunday at The Grandstand.
* Closer game on Monday at East Coast than the previous week.
* Tough game on Tuesday at Kallang.
* We barely managed to get 12 for the Wednesday game at Khalsa, but it was a good game, that finished in a draw.
* Not enough players for a game on Thursday - no one for East Coast and down to 6 for Khalsa.

I'm not sure to what extent it being the second week of the June school holidays was a factor in the low numbers for Wednesday and Thursday.

For 15 to 20 June 2013:

* One goal in it on Saturday, draw on Sunday, at The Grandstand.
* Monday game at East Coast the first to be affected by the haze. 3 late withdrawals forces a switch to a small pitch.
* Tough game on Tuesday at Kallang.
* PSI shoots up to 321 by the end of the Wednesday night game at Khalsa. Despite a couple of withdrawals due to the haze, we still have enough for a 7-a-side.
* Only a Khalsa game scheduled for Thursday, but the PSI remained high, and withdrawals led to the game being cancelled.

For 22 to 27 June 2013:

* Another close game on Saturday at The Grandstand ends in a 3-3 draw.
* A somewhat one-sided game on Sunday at The Grandstand, with a couple of players carrying undisclosed injuries.
* New players make for an enjoyable game at East Coast on Monday.
* Several players being away, and the Tuesday game at Kallang is cancelled due to insufficient players.
* Close, enjoyable, game on Wednesday at Khalsa. Playing on to a last goal results in a 8-7 win.
* Game on Thursday night at Khalsa was much closer than the final scoreline of 11-6 suggests.

.... ..., I've started a weekly round up thread on the "Chat" board, for May 2013, starting with the week from 4 to 9 May 2013.

....

Each week, there is one post. I don't actually need a monthly thread. I will have a half-yearly thread from now on, so approximately 26 weeks.

....

From now on, when I do the weekly round-up post, I will lock the report threads for the previous week's games.

For 29 June to 4 July 2013:

* A tight game on Saturday at The Grandstand, with a bit going on between Dilesh and Rockstar.
* A good, close game on Sunday at The Grandstand.
* Good 12-12 draw on Monday at East Coast.
* Contrasting styles on Tuesday at Kallang.
* With several players not having played together before, line ups proved difficult for Wednesday at Khalsa. Comfortable win for Whites in the end.
* Reds come from 0-3 down to win 7-5 on Thursday at Khalsa.

For 6 to 11 July 2013:

* Somewhat one-sided game on Saturday at The Grandstand. Rockstar retires.
* For Sunday at The Grandstand, at 3.26 pm, stuck at 12, Jon Stratton's phone running flat, the game on the big pitch didn't look likely. Some how, we got to 16, but Jon Stratton was uncontactable by then and didn't show, so one of the female players from the 6 to 7 pm game filled in. Turned out to be a fairly close game.
* For Monday at East Coast, stuck at 9 at 6.05 pm, and with 4 of the 9 ruling out a switch to a small pitch, the game was cancelled.
* With a late withdrawal, we were also stuck at 9 players for the Tuesday game at Kallang (on a small pitch, with one new player). I managed to find an extra player from another game, but it further distorted the balance. Still, glad to get a game.
* For Wednesday at Khalsa, the team with 5 of Derian and friends won 8-4.
* A game of two halves (or one quarter and a second three-quarter) on Thursday at Khalsa.

For 13 to 18 July 2013:

* Good win for Reds on Saturday at The Grandstand, built on a stout defence.
* No show by Fergus, but game still ends 3-3 on Sunday at The Grandstand.
* Hard fought game on Monday at East Coast.
* Whites pull away at the end after a very tight first half hour on Tuesday at Kallang.
* 5 of Derian and friends on Reds see them snatch the game 12-11 on Wednesday at Khalsa.
* No game on Thursday - stuck on 6 for Khalsa.

For 20 to 25 July 2013:

* Lynz's winning streak continues with Whites on Saturday at The Grandstand.
* Sunday at The Grandstand slow to fill up, but finally a good game with a full complement of players in sweltering heat.
* Comeback win for Reds on Monday at East Coast, Glenn F as team selector (Whites) for the first time.
* High scoring game on Tuesday at Kallang.
* Derian and friends on Whites pull away to win 8-3 on Wednesday at Khalsa.
* Again, no game on Thursday - stuck on 4 for Khalsa.

For 27 July to 1 August 2013:

* Low scoring 2-2 draw on Saturday at The Grandstand.
* Reds come back from 1-5 to 4-6 late in the game, but run out of time, on Sunday at The Grandstand. Same scoreline as the previous week.
* No report provided for Monday at East Coast.
* No game scheduled for Tuesday at Kallang as I was away, and the game had been slow to fill up for several weeks.
* Derian and friends on Reds win 9-4 on Wednesday at Khalsa.
* No game on Thursday for another week - stuck on 3 for Khalsa this time.

For 3 to 8 August 2013:

* Surprise 3-2 win for Reds on Saturday at The Grandstand.
* High scoring 10-6 win for Reds on Sunday at The Grandstand.
* Another surprising scoreline - 10-5 to Whites on Monday at East Coast.
* No players down for Tuesday at Kallang, so game cancelled.
* Narrow 9-8 win for Whites on Wednesday at Khalsa, after Whites twice took a 3-goal lead. Whites made up largely of Derian and friends.
* Hari Raya Puasa public holiday plus eve of National Day public holiday so only 1 game scheduled for Thursday, at Khalsa. Stuck at 7 so game cancelled.

For 10 to 15 August 2013:

* 4-2 win for Whites on Saturday at The Grandstand.
* 6-4 win for Reds on Sunday at The Grandstand.
* Narrow win for Whites on Monday at East Coast.
* Reds win in 4-a-side at Kallang on Tuesday.
* 8-6 win for Whites on Wednesday at Khalsa, over a team made up mainly of Derian and friends.
* No game scheduled for Thursday as I was away without internet access.

For 17 to 22 August 2013:

* 5-4 win for Lynz's Whites over Fred's Reds on Saturday at The Grandstand.
* Lead changes hands before 3-3 draw on Sunday at The Grandstand.
* 6-6 draw in even game on Monday at East Coast.
* After taking a 5-0 lead, comfortable 14-5 for Whites on Tuesday at Kallang.
* Hard fought 12-6 win for Reds over a Whites team with 3 of Derian and friends on Wednesday at Khalsa.
* With numbers stuck on 7, Thursday game at Khalsa cancelled.
