Looping through descendant nodes in XML document using XSL

I am trying to loop through descendant nodes in an XML document, but I can't seem to get the correct syntax. The XML files come with a namespace included so in my XSL document I have aliased that namespace. A simple version of my XML document looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="my.xsl"?>
<game id="4496878f-921c-41ab-9fcd-54906a9ed89c" status="closed">
  <summary>
    <quarter id="1" points="10"/>
    <quarter id="2" points="3"/>
    <quarter id="3" points="0"/>
    <quarter id="4" points="6"/>
  </summary>
</game>

My XSL document looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:f="my.xsl">
<xsl:output method="text" indent="no" />

<xsl:template match="/">
      <xsl:text>QUARTER,POINTS</xsl:text>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="/f:game/f:summary" />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="f:summary">
      <xsl:text>&#13;</xsl:text>
        <xsl:for-each select"/f:quarter">
               <xsl:text>"</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="@id"/><xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
               <xsl:text>,"</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="@points"/><xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
        </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

The XML files come with a namespace

I don't see a namespace in the provided XML example. As others have noted, if you have a namespace, you must bind the prefix to the same namespace URI used in the input.

In addition, <xsl:for-each select"/f:quarter"> is trying to select a root element named quarter, which doesn't exist. Not to mention the missing =.

You probably meant <xsl:for-each select=".//f:quarter">, but you don't need it in order to select the children (as opposed to descendants) of the current node - just do <xsl:for-each select="f:quarter">.
