GIFFA Players & Schedule: Second Quarter 2010

Player Lists

The names of those who haven’t played since the start of the year have been dropped from the Participant List.  There are now 102 names on the Participant List.  71 names have been dropped.

There are another 14 who have played since the start of the year.  However, as I have neither their e-mail address or mobile number, they’re not included in the Participant List yet.

As all those on the Participant List have played under the GIFFA System introduced towards the end of last year, it is now the GIFFA Participant List.

More than 300 people have played in a FIOFAFI or GIFFA game since the blog was set up in early 2008.

Everyone who first played before the end of 2008 is now listed as “Original”.

I’ve redone the numbers by age, nationality, club supported and introducer based on the information available on the updated Participant List.    The information can be downloaded as a Word document here.

Schedule

The Tuesday night game at The Cage and the Sunday evening game at Turf City have been the most sustainable since the GIFFA system was introduced towards the end of last year, with Poh Keng and Look Liew doing the co-ordinating.

The Thursday night game at The Cage has also been very regular.

The Wednesday night game at The Cage and the Saturday afternoon game at Turf City are also starting to take off.

We’ve managed 5 games a week for the past two weeks.  In fact, last week, we also had players who couldn’t get a game because the places had filled up.

If places consistently fill up early, I’d consider an additional game each week.  For the additional game, I’d stick with The Cage to start with, as we can get a game going with just 8 players (4-a-side).

We don’t have GIFFA games on Monday night or Friday night, so I’d consider those slots for an additional game.  I’d also consider Saturday morning instead of Friday night.  As is the way on the blog, a poll to canvass views:
