- Scoring is 1 point for each game won and 1 point for winning the match.
- Examples:
- Alf beats Brent Peters 3 to 0; Alf receives 4 pts. Brent receives 0 pts.
- Sam beats Brent Peters 3 to 1; Sam receives 4 pts. Brent receives 1 pt.
- Pat beats Brent Peters 3 to 2; Pat receives 4 pts. Brent receives 2 pts.
- Some people would rather play to 15 with scoring on every point and others would rather play to 9 scoring only when you have serve. You can play whatever you like but the default is to play to 9 so if you cannot come to an agreement you play to 9 points scoring only when you have serve.
- The plan is to play your matches on Wednesdays if possible. If you cannot play on a particular Wednesday then contact your opponent and rearrange a suitable time.
- The schedule shows no times and no courts are booked. You must arrange your own court time. To prevent double booking I am asking that the HOME player book the court and confirm the time with their opponent. I suggest that you book your next week court when you leave after the game.
- There are 5 divisions, each division with 5 players. At the end of the league the top player will move up and the bottom player will move down in each division.
NOTE: There are exceptions to this as new people join the league or people leave. Every effort is made to put people in their most competetive division.
- If there is a tie at the end of the season then the tie breaking procedure goes like this:
- Brent automatically loses all tie breakers except against David Strachan
- Whoever has bought me more beers over the course of the season will win the tie breaker.
- If it is still tied at this point, whoever has the best Head-to-Head record will win the tie breaker.
- If the Head-to-Head record is identical then the player with the best Winning % will win the tie breaker.
- Brent automatically loses all tie breakers except against David Strachan
- If you cannot get you match finished in the allotted time then figure something out. Don’t bug me about it.
- This is a fun league and it is highly recommended that you go to the bar with your opponent after your game. If you fail to do this on a regular basis then you may be subjected to disciplinary action up to and including expulsion from the league.
- Challenging up a level? Just get over it and play your games!
- If you are having a problem with another player do not send them to talk with me. Solve it yourselves. It really can't be that hard - [Smith]. This infraction was only committed by one Smith but since I have moved to last names only all Smiths are penalized.
- DO NOT phone me during working hours to complain about another player. If you want to complain about someone buy me a beer. At least then I will pretend to listen. By the way, I work a lot (late nights, weekends, etc.) so keep this in mind. This rule is, as far as i am concerned, the worst infraction to date. Any violation of this rule will result in immediate removal from the league without any chance of reisntatement - [Roberts]
- Just in case rule 11 wasn't clear enough - DO NOT CALL MY OFFICE 3 TIMES IN 1 HOUR TO BITCH AND/OR COMPLAIN. I call this the f@cking idiot rule. Also, do not send me emails telling me what I must to and then follow up telling me that I better do something. If this rule gets violated then I will just shut down the leagues - [Roberts2][Roberts3][Roberts4][Roberts5]......[Roberts100]
- After you have 3 rules named after you you must by 2 pitchers in the presence of Colin in order to stay in the league
- At the bottom of the schedule page is a link to a calendar file. You can downlaod this and import it into your Outlook or iCalendar. If however, you have replied to an autogenerated email instructing you not to reply, your name will be captured by the stupid filter and you will no longer have access to this link and you will no longer recieve game reminders. If you are in the stupid list and want out you can buy me a beer and I will remove your name.
