***There is a hint, you'll just have to read and scroll down a bit***

Alright folks, it's time for Name That Team with a new system!
Here's how it works:

Every Friday or so, i will make a new thread (like the caption contest)
On the first day, i will give one hint as to who the team is
You do not have to guess on the first day, but you can only guess once!
Roughly two days later, i will post a reply, with the second game hint. Again, you do not have to guess at that point in time, but you can only guess once!
Another two days later i will post the third and final hint as a reply. You then have until Midnight the night before the thread was made. IOW, you have 6 days, 23 hours, and 59 minutes to guess.
If you want to answer, you MUST PM me
Scoring system:
Correct on 1st hint: 30 points
Correct on 2nd hint: 20 points (this means that this scoring won't apply until the next day i post a new hint)
Correct on 3rd hint: 10 points
Notice there is no penalty for being wrong! So even if you're not sure, go ahead and guess! But, again, remember, you can only guess once!
Good luck!

The first hint is:

"Ernst Zermelo, 1913".
Remeber, Google is your friend! You may have to do some research.
(this is also a direct response to the PM's saying last time was too easy. which i do agree with.)
P.S. For the most part, these hints will not be "you have to research" kind of hints. Also, these hints have been checked by me as researchable through Google.
