Spring 2023 has a unique regular season format.
See the article linked here for details.
Start Times
League matches begin promptly at 7:00 pm.
Plan accordingly regarding traffic and travel time.
If you think you will be late, it is your responsibility to notify either someone on your team or the other team and let them know you are on your way.
Match Formats
The top skill players are expected to play in the top slots.
The home team chooses one of two formats.
The default league format has five players participating from each team:
Doubles-12 points
#1 Singles-9 points
#2 Singles-7 points
#3 Singles-5 points
_ _ _ _ _
#1 Doubles-12 points
#2 Doubles-12 points
Singles-9 points
Opposing captains may also agree to a six-player format if there are enough players:
#1 Doubles-12 points
#1 Singles-9 points
#2 Doubles-7 points
#2 Singles-5 points
_ _ _ _ _ _
#1 Doubles-12 points
#2 Doubles-12 points
#3 Doubles-9 points
If a team cannot field enough players, forfeiture of any unplayed matches is awarded to the other team. If the other team's captain is not made aware of the lack of players before noon on the day of the meet, then the team lacking players is also penalized 5 points. If captains have agreed to a six-player format, then the format may be reduced to five players per team, without any forfeitures or penalties, only if adequate notice is submitted prior to noon on the day of the meet.
Handballs
Each team provides two balls per meet.
If the home team chooses a three-match format, the away team provides one ball.
