This is a late ‘second’ to a comment from five years ago. “Are you able to set up a Facebook group or a way to contact other players if we need fill ins?” This is one of the most difficult aspects of running a team.
We decided against it. We usually have players looking to join teams, so if teams are running low they are better off emailing us to ask for extra team members and we shall send some through.
We emphasis participation, teamwork, and getting people involved. From experience elsewhere having a fill in group undermines this as it is the same people filling in over and over again.
Take it as a suggestion rather than a complaint, but Dunneworthy won A grade again. Time to give another team a go
Superbly run Great fun culture for a large organisation
Brad orders nicer Pizza for refs. But Pete gets bigger ones.
Mushrooms on pizza for refs needs to be strongly reconsidered
And pineapple and anchovies.
Hi PPT,
Are you able to set up a facebook group or a way to contact other players if we need fill ins? It would be nice to easily reach out to other people in the competition when we need some extra players 🙂
We thought about that but decided against it. Hopefully you are aware (but maybe not) that we usually have heaps of players looking to join teams, so if teams are running low they are better off emailing us to ask for extra team members and we shall send some through.

Ah fair enough! Thanks!
Would love to get the playing times up as far as possible in advance as it is hard to plan around each game
Alisa,
The plan is ggnerally to rejigg the grades every 1-2 weeks for two thirds of the season. This keeps the comp extremely even (our games are FAR closer than any comparable weeknight sporting competion), it also means I have the flexibility to give teams specifiec timeslots on a one off basus. But obviously this has downsides, especially for shift workers
Anyway the point is taken (a couple of others have said the same thing) so we may change the regrading interval to every 3-4 weeks. This will reduce the issue substantially but I can’t eliminate it completely as I don´t want to end up like other comps where 20-30% of teams aren´t competitive in the grade they are in and end up discouraged and not enjoying the experience.
Pete
