Is it the home court player's responsibility to set up the match?
No. Both players are responsibile for contacting each other.
Can I email my opponent to set up our match, or do I have to actually call them?
Not everyone checks email on a daily basis. For this reason we recommend using the telephone to set up matches and use email to confirm and send directions.
My Opponent has not returned my calls. When may report a default or play a sub?
If you have attempted to contact your opponent at least twice at all number provided, and have not received a return call by Wednesday of your scheduled week of play, you may excercise either option by the Due date on your schedule.
My opponent and I want to play but can't coordinate our schedules. What are our options?
If you have a scheduling conflict yet both wish to play, either use your Free Pass to complete the match anytime before the end of the season; or you may both play subs independently of each other.
It started to rain during our match. What do we do?
Players may elect to reschedule the match prior to the deadline or receive the points they had earned (max of 10) up to the time play stopped. Neither player shall receive the win.
How long do I have to play a match and report scores?
Basically two weeks. The first week is your "scheduled" week of play. This is normally when matches should be scheduled and played. The second week is your "Make up Week" that may be used in the event of scheduling conflicts during the scheduled week or to reschedule if necessary.
My opponent made numerous bad line calls during our match. What can I do?
First make sure that you have seen more than one bad call from a clear vantage point before taking action. Remember, what may look good to you may actually be out. However, if your opponent is clearly making bad calls, you should complete the match and report the player to the league office. While the league office will not overturn a match due to line calls, we will document the behavior in our player files.
My opponent did not show up for our match. How long was I supposed to wait?
You are required to wait a minimum of twenty minutes before leaving the court and reporting a default. Please take into account traffic considerations, etc. before assuming your opponent is a no show. As long as a player is not excessively late, our preference is that the match be played and decided on the court.
