Here is the format and rules, which I will also have available in the league folder:

Everyone will play everyone else at least once. (Probably only once) There will be two matches per person each week. (Unless you have a Bye) The courts will be blocked out between 4pm and 8pm on each Thursday of the week. You can choose to play on that day, or make any other arrangements with your opponents for that week. Everyone will have at least one Bye (You won't play a match) however I have left five slots open in case we get some latecomers and each time you are scheduled to play one of these open slots, this will also be a Bye. I will not allow anyone to be added after the second week of the league, so if I do add someone before then some of you may have to play some make up matches but I will allow this to occur any time during the league. (Can be done on one of your Bye weeks) Normally all make up matches must be done within 2 weeks of the scheduled match. All matches must be completed by 02/20/2005.

All matches will consist of 3 games to 11 points each. Play all three games no matter the outcome. We will keep track of both games won and total points scored. Normal racquetball rules apply. (See "Racquetball 101" in the league folder) If there are any disputes over calls made during a game then simply play the point over. Lag for first serve, then alternate the second then most points scored serves last, if it is a tie then lag again for third serve.

Handicapping
All levels are playing in the same league. We will use a simple handicap system. Everyone has advised me what level they think they are and I have assigned the ranking of A, B or C. An A player starts with 0 (zero) points for each game, a B player 2 (Two) points and a C player 4 (four) points. If a B Player plays a C player, then the C player starts with 2 (two) points, if a C player plays an A player they start with 4 (four) points and so on. As the league progresses, so will the players so please let me know if you think that you are either in the wrong level or if you think someone else you have played or have seen play is in the wrong level so I cam make appropriate adjustments.

Since this is a new format, I am open to suggestions however, major adjustments may have to wait until the next league starts. The most important things are to have fun, play hard and play fair! If you have any questions I am always available by cel 971.221.9768 or by email.

Thanks everyone!
