16 Jan 2020 (Thu), 8.50 pm, HYFA @ Macpherson

Date:	Thursday, 16 January 2020
Time:	8.50 to 10.00 pm
Venue:	HYFA @ Macpherson
Pitch type:	7-a-side, uncovered
Address:	8 Mattar Road
Numbers:	Maximum 14, minimum 12
Payment:	$10 per player

System & Rules:	Please read "The GIFFA System" and "Playing Rules & Principles" for more information by following the links. Being familiar with the contents of both pages is a pre-condition to playing in our games.
Adding names & withdrawals:	Add to the list below the names of players who are confirmed for the game.  Only GIFFA Players are allowed to add names. In the first 24 hours after this post, each GIFFA Player is limited to putting the name down for one other GIFFA Player (apart from himself). In the next 24 hours after this post, each GIFFA Player is limited to putting the name down for one more GIFFA Player. The restrictions of one or two others in the first 24 or 48 hours  applies even if the player does not put his own name down.  No guests are allowed in the first 48 hours. After 48 hours, there is a maximum of 1 guest per player, until 48 hours before the game. Guests must be 21 or above in the current year. In the last 24 hours before the game, places are opened to any male aged 18 or above. In the last 12 hours, the age restriction is reduced to 16 (provided that a responsible adult is playing and remains present). All GIFFA Players are presumed to be sufficiently familiar with "The GIFFA System" and the "Playing Rules & Principles" threads.  Guests should be provided with salient information contained in those threads by the GIFFA Player adding his name. Once the maximum number is reached, any other names are placed on waitlist.  Withdrawals should be posted below as well, as soon as a player knows he will or may not be able to make the game.  A player who withdraws need not pay for the game.  However, there are fees and penalties for withdrawing 24 or less before the game.
Prompt payment:	When I create the WhatsApp group chat for the game (30 hours or less before the game), if a player owes for more than one previous game, I may move the player to the bottom of the list of name (including any waitlist).
Punctuality:	As set out above, the session is scheduled to start 10 minutes before the hour. The first 10 minutes are for team selectors to meet the players and consider any changes in line ups, as well as discuss formation, team organization and tactics. The game starts on the hour sharp.

I can't hold the 7-a-side pitch as we don't have enough players for a game on the 7-a-side pitch (minimum 12). I had a lot of trouble on Monday for not giving 48 hours notice when I thought I had to cancel on the day of the game itself.

If we get enough players, I will check availability. If at that time, we only get a 5-a-side pitch, I will have to sort out numbers.

The 7-a-side pitch is no longer available. Kelvin is also out for tonight.

A 5-a-side pitch is available. Late now, so I will discuss line ups with teh player on each team with the most number of games in the current 6 month period can be captain. That would be Calvin for Team 1 with 26 games and Akshay for Team 2 with 16 games.

I discussed line ups with Calvin and Akshay. They were unfamiliar with several players, but we finally agreed on the following:

Reds: Calvin (c), Muzammil, Arjay, Jakub, Sven
Whites: Akshay (c), Ben Loke, Nazrul, Josiah, Rajiv

Payment status (including today's game):

1 Calvin
2 Muzammil (-$9)
3 Akshay R (-$23, inclusive of $1 admin fee)
4 Arjay (to be paid by Jakub)
5 Jakub (-$18, including payment for Arjay)
6 Ben Loke (-$22, inclusive of $1 admin fee)
7 Nazrul (-$9)
8 Sven
9 Josiah (-$8)
10 Rajiv

Only shortfalls are shown. Players with no figure against their name have sufficient credit. Admin fee (if any) is reversible within 3 days.

Akshay messaged to say he is out. $4 penalty for a late withdrawal instead of the payment per player. We'll try to find a replacement at the pitch.
