Just an idea to encourage turnout over the next few (dark/cold/wet) months, and introduce an inclusive team-play aspect to our scene now the Pigs/Scouts/Drills have kind of disbanded...
If we drew names from a hat of everyone who plays to some extent, we'd have enough for 5-6 teams. Everyone plays each other once, but a game is 3 x 10mins (as per London, I think) so limited potential for draws. Maximum one game per Wed/Sunday session so plenty of time for random throw-ins/fast/slow games too.
It would only total 10-15 games, but with people being out of town/different levels of attendance/fate it would take at least 3 months I reckon. My thinking is that we can accommodate everyone, regardless of how often they play (within reason), although if it's getting drawn-out we may have to schedule additional meet-ups, or allow Andy/Stu/other less-regular players the chance to play more than one game per meet-up.
Gives people something to aim for and would be a useful statistical tool if we do seeding or when we re-form teams for 2012 tournaments. We'd need at least one ref per fixture, hopefully goal refs too. It would be awesome to keep a tally of scorers/assists, too.
Anything to add/change/discuss?
Who's in?
(Please add people not on the forum who want to join in - I think if it comes down to even numbers, we'll have to go with the last people on the list being ditched).
Deadline end of November for December start?
