TEAMS:

Current Standings:

Guidelines for Play

• There are 4 teams of 10 or 11 players.
• Teams were selected by a group of members familiar with the players.
• Schedules have been organised so that players of a similar level play together.
• Players should be able to play around 75% of the weeks, weather permitting.
• Players are responsible to advise captains of planned absences and to find their own spares.
• If a player is planning to be absent, captains are encouraged to swap his scheduled date with a player of similar level.
• Within this guideline, players can spare throughout the team
• There is also a list of spares: they can also spare throughout the team.
• Ultimately, team captains are responsible to ensure that full teams are fielded.
• Each match consists of a 10 minute warm-up and 2 playing times of 40 minutes.
• The 4 team members will play as two pairs for the entire 90 minutes.
• The playing partners will play against each of the opposing team's playing partners for 40 minutes.
• Captains will monitor the playing time.
• If 2 of 4 players dispute a call the point should be replayed: this is for fun!
• There will be one set of standings: all team results count.
• 2 points will be earned by playing partners for each 40 minute match won.
• In the event of a tied match each pair of playing partners earns 1 point.
• There are no points gained for fielding a team without a spare.
• If any pair is short a player and it is time for play (not warm-up) to begin the other team automatically receives the 2 points. If the vacancy is filled by anyone, including the scheduled (but late) player or a bystander the play is only for enjoyment as the other team has already been guaranteed the 2 points by default.
• Games cancelled due to the weather or unavailable courts will not be rescheduled.
• If rain causes any match to be cancelled before completion, no points are earned by either team for that evening.
• If players from the 7pm timeslot clear surface water, they are entitled to extend their playing session by up to 10 minutes maximum to compensate for the time spent clearing the courts.
• Captains are responsible for the collection of balls at the end of play.
• All used balls must be placed into the green container on the deck.
• Captains will monitor the recording of nightly scores in the clubhouse.
• The convenor maintains the right to make decisions, and alter teams as is determined necessary in order to ensure fair play, enjoyment, and the best quality of play for all.
