The Rules

In a perfect world we wouldn't need rules. Unfortunately it's not a perfect world so here's how Footylist works for the benefit of everyone.

Getting a place in a game

1. Footylist must know about you before you try reserve a place in a game - supply is finite and we do reserve the right to close Footylist to new members. Don't let this stop you from using the "Register your Interest" link on the right.
2. Evening games run from 18:30 to 20:00. If you can't play for that period of time don't sign up. If you leave early, you'll be treated as a no-show (see below).
3. Each Friday morning you can use the the web site to sign up for next weeks games.
4. Don't try and block book all games in the future. All bookings are deleted Thursday night so it will be a waste of time.
5. Spaces are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis - up to 11 a side. Signups are automatically filed in the order they arrive and that's the order in which the slots are allocated.
6. If more than 22 players sign up, the extras players are reserves. If anyone cancels you'll be contacted before the game to see if you can play.
7. If you haven't got a spot in a game, then it should be fairly obvious that there's not much point turning up - we don't play 15 a side!
8. The Astroturf pitch is reserved for our use if the main teams at Saalsporthalle are not using it. There are more than enough players wanting a game on a regular basis, please don't invite large groups of players to our matches.
9. If you break anything, e.g. car windows, you're personally liable for the cost of getting it fixed and sorted out. If you don't agree to this....don't play.

No Shows (IMPORTANT)
If you've reserved a place in a game and you can't make it then cancel your spot. Simply click on the CANCEL! link and send us a short message.

If you can't make a game, please let us know before 5pm. This gives us time to contact the reserves to fill your space.

This is the important part.....If you sign up for a game and you don't show, you'll be the last reserve in the next game. So if there are 22 people who sign up for the next game you won't get a game! In short don't do it, it's annoying for everyone involved.

Cancelled Game
Games rarely get cancelled, even if the weather is really bad! If we're going to cancel a game, a headline will be added to the front page of the site. Just check the website before you leave for the game.

If you don't turn up because of a bit of rain, then you'll be treated as a no-show.

How can I guarantee myself a place in the game ?
Easy - Wash the footy bibs for the next match and you'll have a guaranteed spot (we're serious)
