Comment ...

Hugo responded in

I've been invited by Stefan L and if possible could I borrow a lefthanded stick?

Frank

Holy smoke,12 people! I was actually in the process of making arrangements to join. So, Hugo's participation depends upon my not joining. I will know soon.

Jure, Mr. Smits should register on the site but he definitely cannot play this Tuesday. The rule is that we allow max 12 players and people in yellow have priority.

Frank

Actually, Caleb is not a member yet, so I corrected that. He expressed intent to join but has not paid. I am wondering if I should cap it at 13 members, which covers my expenses. But I would need to collect a few bucks for any summer bookings in May.

I think only once we had more than 12 member sign-ups when we instituted the system with 14 members in 2014. Any opinions?

Sam

Caleb is planning on becoming a member - he might have been planning on bringing cash tomorrow.

Sam

As for limiting the number of members - I can think of a dozen times last year where we had 6 people or less showing up. I don’t mind capping each individual session at 12 on a first come first serve basis (with priority for next time if you can’t join) but if it means we’ll have more sessions with 8+ players overall I think we should expand.

Henrik

Hi Frank. I can join tomorrow and pay the annual fee. But can wait until next week if that is better.

Tero

Wow, full house! I’m with Sam, if we have more players willing to join, great. My hockey team has 17 or so full time players, yet we have games with 7 players. Life happens.

Sonny

I agree to increase with a few members since we have seen low attendance lately. Hugo, I have an extra stick - shooting from left.

Hugo

Thank you Sonny!

Frank

The question is not about expanding beyond 14 members. The principle of this system is that members always have a right to play, but we do not allow any guest players that would bring the total above 12. Implicitly, the assumption is that we will not (or extremely rarely) get more than 12 of 14 members sign up on a given day.

By cutting back to 13 then the probability of having more than 12 is reduced significantly. That's what I was asking about. It also gives more opportunities for guests to play.

I will talk to Henrik and Caleb directly to figure who, if anyone, gets the last slot.

Capping the game with 12 players is a longstanding principle know as the "Kenn rule", which I don't want to change. We had bad experiences when like 14 people showed up in the 2000s.

Last season was an anomaly because we had as many as 6-7 inactive members due to moving and injury.

Frank

So, at this juncture, Hugo and Henrik are out. They can join if people drop out, with Hugo first in line.

Jure

Sorry for late notice but I am out today.

Rogier

Perhaps I can come and watch the game to give me an idea, I am actually a field hockey player so not familiar with floor hockey.

Frank

I have to drop out after all, so Henrik is in. I also decided to give Henrik the 14th membership. Per told me that he might leaving after Xmas, so a spot might open up then.

Rogier is next in line, and he can of course watch. Floorball is very progressive, allowing left hand shooting and backhands!
