The Next Doubles League begins December 16th, 2010. See AL Reagle December 9th, 2010 for details and/or to sign up.
All levels of players are accepted as long as approved by the league manager who will determine their ability to play safely.

For you new members and some of the old that may have forgotten, you must be present before 7:00 PM to be in the draw unless you contact me prior to 7:00 to inform me you will be running only a few minutes late. If you come at 7:01 and I have already made the draw, SORRY, you won't get to play that night. Don't expect an exception to be made for you because you think you have a good excuse. The rest of us are there on time and are ready to play on time. If you want to play with us then you be there on time.
Remember that you can always call me at 858-2305 and let me know if you will be a little late so I can put you in the draw. Be sure to stay on the line if I don't answer and leave a message in case I'm on the court playing. I always check my phone for messages before I do the draw so if you are running later than 7:00 PM, don't forget to call me.

This doubles league keeps getting better! You show up before 7:00 PM and you are guaranteed to play at 7:01 PM. No more waiting for everyone to show up! Only the players present at 7:00 PM play that night and everyone gets points for playing. If you haven't joined yet, you can come by before 7:00 PM next Thursday and sign up to play. Don't miss out on the best thing going in doubles!

We request players wear "approved protective" eye wear at all times when playing racquetball.

Only players that have league fee paid in advance are eligible to play.
Teams will be selected from the players present at 7:00 pm. The first player of each team will be selected from the top half of the Player Skill List. The second player of each team will be selected by random draw of the remaining members on the Skill List not already selected.
Each team plays the other teams 1 game to 11 points to determine a winner. (See #9 below)
Each team starts off with a cumulative handicap as listed behind names.
All teams receive 2 points for each game played.
The winner of each game receives one extra point per game won.
Points as determined in #5 & #6 above will be totaled and entered on the league score sheet.
Total points at the end of the 18 weeks of play determines the league winners. Each player's two lowest scores during the league will be replaced by their average up to the highest score for the night of play.
The league manager may decide to change the game format to a "quick game format" and/or the number of points played to conserve time depending on the number of players present. (Quick game format means the winner of every serve or rally receives a point.)
Skill levels of players will be determined by the league manager and may change.
Handicaps are listed on league skill list and may be adjusted by the league manager as needed.
In the event a player on a team is unable to continue because of an injury and/or any other reason, no substitutions will be allowed. The remaining player can elect to continue playing scheduled matches without a partner and will be allowed two serves.
Any player that checks in after 7pm and/or is present but elects not to play for any reason will receive the minimum available points for the night.
