Matches consist of 3 games played with rally scoring. Every serve is a point. All three games are played to 21 and must be won by two points.
BOTH Teams are responsible for entering their scores for the week.
If a team is unable to play when it is scheduled on a given night they must notify both O’Leaver’s and the captain of the opposing team.
If a team misses two weeks without notifying O'Leaver's or the captain of the team they are supposed to play at least 24 hours in advance, they will be removed from the league.
If a team is more than 10 minutes late to the court they will have to forfeit and take the losses for the night. If both teams still would like to play then they are encouraged to play for fun with the wins still credited to the on-time team.
Matches must start within 10 minutes of the scheduled start time and be completed within the scheduled hour. Without prior permission, any points scored after the hour is up will not be counted towards your total. Once the hour is up, the game is over and the next matchup takes the court.
