League Format (except Partner Leagues – see below): Five per court, no subs. Play four games to 15 (or to 11 if all members on the court agree due to heat, for example). If there are four on your court due to absences, play three games to 15(or 21 if all players agree).Add one week to the end date for a rain make-up(except Sunday - no make-ups for Sunday). Additional rain-outs will not be made up.
Partner League Format: Each team of two will play against two other teams each night in a double round robin for a total of four games to 15 points (win by 1). The Monday Whittier league is a 3.5+ (combined DUPR 7 to 8) league. The Thursday Rosie’s league is a 3.0+ (combined DUPR 6-8) These are sub leagues!! Players are responsible for securing a sub for their teammate (and can be assisted by the league leader if necessary). If signing up for the partner league, you will need your partner's name, email, and phone to complete the registration and you will need to pay for you and your partner.
