Jure, what's your status? We have one too many if you join.

I will probably show up with the goals, but will probably cut it short.

p.s. Pls bring black and white shirts.

My fever went away overnight but I still have body aches, so I won't join. Either Johan M or Henrik will pick up the goals.

For next week, I suggest Tero takes them, assuming that he plans to join, since he lives closest. Also, a reminder for people who like to plan ahead, we are playing on Wed Nov 6 in about a month's time.

I've changed my reply since I have to drop out this time, so there is a extra spot open now

Would be nice to join to see how I can handle the game. Don’t have gear yet.

Perhaps someone has a spare stick (right handed, left upper hand right lower)?

I also need a righty stick if we can manage that, mine isnt getting in till the end of the week. Happy to share with someone as well.

There is only one right stick available to my knowledge, Johan M's. But we also need to wait for Jure to respond. If he joins, there is only one guest spot.

Jure, please let us know if you are coming.

p.s. Who has the goals?

I have one righty stick that someone can use

I have the goals and will bring them.

Sorry for the late rsvp. I am out tonight.

I can lend my right handed stick, if anyone would come by Glover Park (dc) to pick it up.

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

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.

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?

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

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.

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

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.

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

Thank you Sonny!

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.

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

Sorry for late notice but I am out today.
