Definitions and Expectations of Play

Rec Play

Uses the Winners/Challengers system (described below), booked through Court Reserve; limited to sign-up of 6 people/court (e.g., 24 people if 4 courts are allocated), people come and go as they please, they don’t have to stay the entire time

Drop-in

uses the paddle system (described below); not booked thru Court Reserve; no limit to the number of players people come and go as they please, they don’t have to stay the entire time

Evening Play

There is some overlap in organized play between daytime (8:30 am-6:30 pm) and evening (6:30-9 pm). The intention is that daytime players would primarily be retired individuals or people who are not working or going to school. Evening players would primarily be students, people who work during the day, or families. People who play in a specific daytime program will be encouraged to not sign up for the same program offered in the evening.

Cohort Play

A member books a court instead of booking an individual spot. That member then plays with their chosen group (1-4 players). Cohort play can be used for doubles games, singles games, or drilling. Only members can participate in cohort play.

WINNERS / CHALLENGERS SYSTEM
If you won your game put your paddle left to right in the Winner side of the paddle box.
If you lost your game put your paddle left to right in the Challenger side of the paddle box
When a court becomes available, owners of the first four paddles in the Winner box go play.
When the next court becomes available, owners of the first four paddles in the Challenger box go play. As courts become available, play alternates between winners and challengers.

PADDLE SYSTEM

PADDLE BOX PLACEMENT – Place your paddle in the box, working from left to right. This ensures a clear and fair order for everyone waiting to play. 
NEXT UP – The first four paddles from the left are the next group up to play. This group should prepare to enter the court as soon as it becomes available.
FOURSOME GROUP – If you wish to stay together as a foursome, place your paddles in sideways. This indicates that you intend to play as a group and should be treated as a single unit in the rotation.
ROTATION – Once a game is finished, the current players should exit the court promptly, allowing the next four players (or the designated foursome) to enter.

Round Robin Play
