Communication in match availability

The current SMS relay is not as efficient as it were before. Nor is posting on the blog. I often see very late replies on Friday and we have to manually collate attendance. I am considering moving to another platform, Nike Playmaker. (URL: http://www.nike.com/playmaker/) Basically for the organiser to automatically sends email to selected players who are registered to inform match details and for players to indicate availability at the click of a mouse.

I am also considering making every match a facebook event which works around the same ideology to make it convenient for everyone. We have experimented that idea before in the league debut.

So please give constructive opinions or suggestions if any, regarding the communication medium.

Also another point to note, with regards to confirming match availability, please do not confuse the organisers with strange names or professional players' names. Because the collating of attendance normally falls to a select few. It can get a little frustrating when either players haven't RSVP or you don't really know exactly who are playing.

I know some of you are familiar with Lazio players (not like most of us who only know EPL). That is cool indeed. But there are different time slots for fun and serious business. If you are our player, please use a nick that we can easily identify you with. (e.g. christiano, jake, sar are acceptable)

We have established a team culture that emphasizes on professionalism and equality. Although we are not professional full-time players, but we have never assumed that we don't have to behave like one. The Outsiders, for example, don't punch or taunt opponents unnecessarily. And I am very proud of the image portrayed by the team. Which is why I respect every single one of us as mature young adults. So I hope, in return, you will not do or say anything that seems to imply that you are taking the organisers for granted. Otherwise, let's focus on the next match and break the roller-coaster trend. We must win.
