Question 5
I was and still am a member of Essex jamaat, which would be considered a small jamaat and normally when a tournament comes around I have represented Essex/Wessex jamaat without any problem. I have been a member of Stanmore jamaat since childhood and so you could say that I have dual membership of 2 jamaats (Essex and Stanmore).  However, I am not and have never been a member of Stanmore Jafferies, which is the body which runs the sports clubs and MAMT tournament entry for Stanmore Jamaat and have not played in any weekly sports practices organized by them ever. Although I could join Stanmore Jafferies now, it would be too late for me to enter into the tournament to represent Stanmore Jamaat. My question is am I still able to join Wessex Jamaat’s team for entry into the tournament (as I did last year) as I am still a member of Essex Jamaat and have not joined Stanmore Jafferies? Or would I be considered part of Stanmore Jamaat and rule number 20 will be applied to me.

Answer 5
Yes you can join Wessex Jamaat as far as you are a member of Essex Jamaat sports club and not a member of Stanmore Jafferies sports club.

Question 6
How many sports can a person play. For example can a person participate in volleyball, football, badminton and tabletennis?

Answer 6
Player can participate in any two sports provided that they are not played on the same day.  For example football is played on Saturday and volleyball is played on Sunday, then he can enter these two sports.  Whereas tabletennis, volleyball, tennis, and badminton are played on Sunday. Therefore he can't participate in these two sports played on that day. However singles and doubles in tabletennis, badminton, tennis and squash are counted as two events of same sports and they will be allowed to play on the same day. Please note that entry fees for one sport or event is £10 except for adult volleyball which is £15.

Question 9
Is it 5 a side or 7 a side football for MAMT 2007, how many players on pitch and how many maximum subs allowed?

Question 10
I'm from Paris and I am the capitain of  the french football team. I want to know if the pitches will be same as last year? And if they are same are there any modifications in the rules?

Answer 10
12 and under = 7 a side.  Same rules as last year.  Astro turf pitches (same as the first and end pitches at Brunel University last year).  All other age groups = 5 a side.  Same rules as last year except that there is head height rule (ball cannot go over head height otherwise it is a free kick.)  Artificial grass pitches (same as middle pitches at Brunel University last year).
