475,
One would assume that a game played at a lower div would qualify if called up.
If the official stats say 3 games, then it should only be three games.
The dinner starts at 6:30. the game at 6:30. She can't be in two places at once and there's an old saying "a man who chases two rabbits, goes hungry". The T'Birds would probably expect their players to meet and greet the punters so they would require them to be at the Wine Centre by 6pm?
My gut feeling is that she will turn up to Mars to be seen at the stadium, start warm up, and then during the warm up race to her car, do a Mr Bean and get changed in the car and arrive a little bit late to the Thunderbirds, 'cos really they will only be sitting down at 7 to 7:30 won't they.
So, poindexters, a delicious dilema if ever there is one and one which would have Matt Preston salivating at the thought of an Iron Chef cooking with the secret ingredient, apple.
Could Norwood refuse to have her listed on the scoresheet if she is not there at tip off, or half time? Should all players sign the scoresheet at half time as proof they played?
Will she get a doctor's note from Doctor Nick?
Alternatively, could the doors of the stadium be locked once the warm ups start?
Would someone be brave enough to double park Carla so she couldn't drive away? Is there a front gate that could be chained? Would anyone like $50 to buy a padlock to chain the front gate so no car could leave?
Is it too late to reschedule the game to Sunday?
