CHALLENGE COURT GUIDELINES:
Court 1 is the designated Challenge Court.
Winners on the Challenge Court stay together and play the next set of challengers.
After winning 3 consecutive matches, the winners will yield the court to the next 4 players.
Challengers must be ready to play when the current Challenge Court match ends.LET’S PLAY! Our meetups will have 6 courts to play on (courts #1 through #6) with 40 players per session. Courts #7 and #8 will be reserved for public use at all times. If no one is playing on those courts, we can use them as part of our Meetup session. However, if people not in the Meetup session show up to play, we must vacate the public courts immediately, do not finish your game.
You need a paddle, source of hydration, and a great attitude.TAKING A BREAK: If you do not plan on playing, your paddle should NOT be placed in the paddle drop. When you are ready to play, you need to put your paddle in the next available space (go to the back of the line).
RSVP: If you sign up for a meetup and can't attend, it is MANDATORY to change your status. This gives others a chance to play but even if there is not a waitlist, other players are counting on you to be there. Please post a comment if you’re going to be late.
FOLLOW OUR PLAYER/PADDLE ROTATION SYSTEM: Game winners stay on the court, but split up. Winners of 2 consecutive games take a break. Use the paddle organizer if all courts are in use.
If the number of players is 32 or less, play to 11. Over 32, play to 9.
