What to Expect in a club environment

The membership fee is worked out & the guidelines are set so that all players will be able to play at very low cost and enjoy games at similar levels. Generally

Everyone is expected to take turns and play on a roster basis. One game on & one game off is what is expected. Each turn you will be able to play 2 games continuously. 3 to 4 turns 0f 20 mnts & 6 – 8 games is expected to those who arrive before start time and stay the whole time. On a night with less attendance, you may get more games which is bonus to set off against the bad days.
Everyone is expected to play more games with similar level players and few games with lower or higher level players. However new players or visitors may be in a wrong grade for a while which you may need to be flexible until corrected.
Depending on the night, some may have their best nights and some may not which may be beyond the control of anyone due to unexpected very high/low attendance, games scheduling pattern, players arriving late or leaving early, not signing out, not turning up to the court etc.

What to do at the club

Sign In on arrival & when you are ready to play.
Sign Out before you go to play your last game.
If you forget to sign out please stay back & play or go to your court, organise a replacement so that other 3 players are not let down by you.

Handle shuttles very carefully & responsibly.
Respect the level of all players & play your best so that everyone on the court will enjoy the game.
Be considerate & help other players when you get to play with lower graders , as higher graders are expected to do same to you when they play with you.

Club night Game format

Players Signing in late or leaving before the end of the session will naturally get less than 8 & others more than 8.
