Paddle Rack Rules

Use the Paddle Rack to wait your turn when the Skill Level Open Play courts are all being used.

Play one game to 11, win by two. Then return to the paddle rack.

Insert paddles in the rack left to right.

A clip is used to indicate the next 4 paddles to play when a court becomes available.

If less than 4 paddles are next up, a player is to announce the number of players needed to complete the group of 4.

Groups with under 4 paddles are not to be skipped even if more than one court is open in skill-designated courts. Play will discontinue until players volunteer to complete the group. Players with paddles in the rack are given the first choice to volunteer based on their order in the rack.

When a second court is vacant and a foursome finishes a game, they cannot move to the vacant court or stay on the one they just vacated if one or more paddles are in the rack. Instead, one or more of the players must join the group of 3 or less waiting to play.

No skipping of players in the paddle rack.

If a "foursome" wishes to stay together and not adhere to the paddle rack rules, they may move to another court that is not reserved for other uses.

The "5 minute" rule is rescinded. Play may not move forward until the 1-3 players up next has 4 players.

Placing your paddle in two racks to secure a court is not allowed nor is putting a paddle in the rack while you are playing.

Moving someone's paddle to arrange a preferred foursome is not allowed.
