So this is how it works (in theory)....
On or about Monday morning the skipper sends out an email to all Jesters (somewhere around 50 of them) stating when and where the following Saturday's fixture is. Those not on email get an SMS message. You simply have to reply:
Available (stating Club or Direct if it's an away game) or Unavailable
If you are available and you don't hear anything else you just turn up at the appointed time and place.
The actual selection criteria are many and varied but we will always try to get as many people a game (or a half) as possible. However, the earlier you reply the more likely you are to start. If you repeatedly say you are available and then cry off on Friday night or Saturday you are also less likely to start. And everything can be thrown up in the air by cry-offs further up the club!
