Date:	Saturday, 8 February 2020
Time:	4.50 to 6.00 pm
Venue:	Premier Pitch @ Khalsa (Serangoon)
Pitch Type:	7-a-side, uncovered
Address:	2 Tessensohn Road or access from 49 Balestier Road
Numbers:	Maximum 14, minimum 12
Payment:	Reduced to $9 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.

CH in so we can go ahead with 12. Still trying to get 2 more for 14.

Late now, so I will suggest line ups. There are 4 players (Ian, Anders, Sashank and Masa) who played in our first ever Saturday Khalsa game last week, so I will keep them together this week. Bhargii is Sashank's guest, so he joins them for 5. 1 more from the rest. The rest are mainly Grandstand regulars, except for Wilson (who is regular on Mondays and Thursdays at Macpherson), and Melvin, who used to be regular at on Tuesdays at The Cage before the Tuedsay game was switched to the Grandstand, and his guest, Rio. In order to keep Melvin and Rio together, I will put Wilson with the first 5. This gives us:

Team 1: Ian, Anders, Sashank, Bhargii, Masa, Wilson Lim
Team 2: Jamie T, Christian S, Melvin L, Rio, Stuart L, CH

For Team 1, the player who played last week with the most number of games in the current 6 month period can be captain. That would be Ian, with 15 games. For Team 2, the player with the most number of games in the current 6 month period can be captain. That would be Stuart, with 25 games. Captains can agree on colours.

Ian is out. 1 more to replace him.

Can't get anyone else. I can fill in for Ian, but I have to leave by 5.45 pm. Hope that's ok.

We'll aim to start at 4.45 pm.

Jamie requested red. No other comments, so line ups and colours confirmed as follows:

Whites: Anders, Sashank, Bhargii, Masa, Wilson Lim, Rajiv
Reds: Jamie T, Christian S, Melvin L, Rio, Stuart L (c), CH

Everyone, please be early.

1 Jamie T (-$9)
2 Wilson Lim (-$7)
4 Anders (-$9)
5 Sashank (-$9)
6 Bhargii (-$9)
7 Christian S (-$9)
