Attendance: how many games do I need to play?

Play as often as you can and keep your RSVP accurate; unexplained no-shows and repeated late RSVPs are what can cost you your spot.

Written by David Argyle

Play as often as you can, and keep your RSVP accurate. Missing the odd week is normal and nobody plays every game. What causes problems is a player who is marked as playing and doesn't turn up, or who keeps changing their RSVP on the day.

Why it matters

Squads are small on purpose, and sized so the team still has enough players when a few people are out. Number of players in a team explains how. One regular absentee changes the night for everyone else, and a team that keeps playing short stops enjoying it.

The rules

  • Update your RSVP at least 24 hours before the game. Any change on the day of the game is a late RSVP. RSVPs stay open until 30 minutes before the start, then the lineup locks.

  • A no-show, where you're marked as playing and don't turn up, costs $15.

  • Repeated late RSVPs that cause your team to forfeit cost $15.

  • Two unexplained no-shows, or three late RSVPs, in a season can see you removed from your team. We understand two emergencies, not more. Registration isn't refunded if you're removed.

If you can't make most of the games

The rules aren't aimed at the person who misses three weeks with a rolled ankle. They're aimed at the spot that never turns up, and the team that gets left short.
