15 Sep 2020 (Tue), 8.50 pm, P. Pitch @ Grandstand (5-a-side)

All games were suspended at the end of March 2020 due to Covid-19 restrictions. From the "OPSAGE" board yesterday:

Premier Pitch just informed me it is possible to play 5-a-side between two teams (Team A and Team B) as follows:

• Goalkeeper and 2 defenders from Team A, plus 2 attackers from Team B, stay in one half of the pitch.
• Goalkeeper and 2 defenders from Team B, plus 2 attackers from Team A, stay in the other half of the pitch.
• Players designated to one half of the pitch cannot cross onto the other half.

The main change that allows for this is that the ball can pass between the two groups of five.

If there is sufficient interest, I will see if there is a pitch available this Tuesday (9 to 10 pm) and/or this Saturday (5 to 6 pm or 4 to 5 pm).

Please add your name below.

We have 10 plus one on waitlist already for tomorrow, so I am creating a post here on the schedule board.  

Date:	Tuesday, 15 September 2020
Time:	8.50 to 10.00 pm
Venue:	Premier Pitch @ The Grandstand
Pitch type:	5-a-side, covered pitch
Address:	200 Turf Club Road, Plot 9
Numbers:	Maximum 10, minimum 8
Payment:	$11 per player

The Premier Pitch has reminded me strictly limited to 10, and the players assigned to one half of the pitch should remain in that half. I will have to rely on captains to enforce these requirements. It should be a foul for a player to cross the halfway line from his designated half.

Other rules, guidelines and policies as before:

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.
