The Doubles League begins February 21st, 2008. See AL Reagle for details and/or to sign up. This league will run 18 weeks from February 21st, 2008 to July 3rd, 2008. 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.

Thursday Round Robin Mixed Doubles
A lot of you have asked for something more
for winning the league and now we have it. GIFT CERTIFICATES will be awarded to
1st place $20, 2nd place $10 and 3rd place $5. Everyone that plays in the league
will be entered in a drawing for a free entry in the next league.
This league is a new
approach to help alleviate the problems that have faced the doubles leagues in the past. I hope everyone will participate with the enthusiasm that went into
the design of the league. Your suggestions are always appreciated and when practical, put into use. Please remember we are all out here to play a little
racquetball and have some fun at the same time.
We request players wear
"approved protective" eye wear at all times when playing racquetball.
League rules:
Only players that have league fee paid in advance are qualified to play.

Each

The
league will last about 18 weeks.
Gift
certificates will be awarded for 1st place $20, 2nd place $10 and 3rd place $5, determined by total points at end of league.
Everyone that plays in the league
will be entered in a drawing for a free entry in the next league.
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
player will receive 2 points for each game played and a bonus of 1 point for
each game won.
The
games will be one game to 11 points except as described in # 11 below.
Players
will be handicapped approximately as follows by the league manager to help keep the matches even:
Open=(-5),
A=(-4), B=(-3) and C=(-2).
Therefore if an A and C player are playing together, they
will begin each game with a score of (–6).
Handicaps are listed on league skill list and may be adjusted by the league manager as needed.
The
league director 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.)
When a player is not able to play because of healing
injuries or any other reason, the player
will receive the minimum points for being present on time but unable to
play.
