Narrator: You and your friend Hana play in a five-a-side football team in the university's indoor league. League matches are usually played on Wednesday evenings at the sports centre, and your team has just reached the semi-final. This morning, however, the league sent all the teams an email. Next week the sports hall is needed for exams, so the semi-final has been moved to Tuesday at eight o'clock in the evening. Your team has six registered players, and a team must have at least five players to take part. Unfortunately, your goalkeeper, Sam, works in a restaurant on Tuesday evenings and cannot change his shift, and another player, Chloe, will be away on a field trip. The league's rules say that every player must be a current student at the university, and that new players must be registered online by Sunday at midnight. Hana has asked to meet you after your lecture.
