Copa IBA Part III - News Flash!

I've just discovered that the Copa IBA blog is not only not updated, it is also very mistaken in whatever information it let out.

Info from Sin Lan:
  • Maximum 13 people per team, not minimum
  • Must have 8 girls and 5 guys
  • Must have 4 non-Christians
  • On the field, only 9 members will play: 3 guys, 6 girls
  • Substitution on the field is allowed, meaning the 13 players can substitute each other but must have that same number of girls and guys on the field
So now we not only have to cut down on the number of guys per team, we also have to look for 4 non-Christians to take part in the Captainball event.

For futsal, no number of girls stated la, cuz obviously girls are lousy at futsal. But the maximum number of people per futsal team is 8, and there must be 4 non-Christians. This one I got from the team registration forms.

Our Current Status

Girls:
  1. Me (Hwei)
  2. Juliana
  3. Jessica
  4. Yen Mei
  5. Sin Yee (if really can go)
  6. Li Lian (New!)
Guys:
  1. El Sen
  2. Mark
  3. Daniel
  4. Raymond Sim
  5. Edmund Sim
  6. Sharma
  7. Gary
Shaun is still underage and can only join the Under 15 category. And currently we have zero non-Christians on the team.

The thing is Copa IBA is supposed to be evangelistic, but many churches know for a fact that it's very competitive and sometimes leaves a bad impression on the non-Christians cuz sometimes the Christian players too kiasu and lack sportsmanship. Whether we still want to go or not is up to you all la, and Uncle Rodney if he still lets us go.
