SQUASH MANITOBA WOMEN’S LEAGUE 2018-2019 SCHEDULE
All games are played at the 17th Wing courts (on Whytewold Rd, north of Ness), except the play-offs.
Start time is 6:30pm until approximately 8:30pm. Organize within the two teams scheduled which level will play first and in which order. This might be the level with both players present and ready to go. If a player has a time conflict in the night it may be better for them to play early in the evening or late in the evening. Be in contact with your opposing player and your team captain to ensure the night runs smoothly. Contact information will be supplied once teams are set.
If you finish your best of 5 matches before your time is over (30 minutes…not much I know), continue using the court for additional games. Continue formal scoring and use your best 3 scores from the entire timeframe.
LEAGUE RULES:
Team Captains: Team Captains are the Level 1 players of each team. Please inform your team captain if you have rescheduled your match or require to play at a specific time. Team Captains are a great resource to help organize the team and to ask if you have any questions regarding scoring, strategy or rules.
Challenges: Players are ranked on a team. A player may challenge the player one level above on her team.
A challenge between the same two players may occur only once. The player being challenged must make every effort to meet the challenge. If the challenger should win the challenge, the two players will switch positions for future league nights. The Team Captain should be informed of the change. Please inform a Coordinator before the next league night.
Match Play: Players of the first match should be ready to start play at 6:30. Second match players should referee the first matches. Players should be ready to play as soon as the previous match is completed. Please do not be late – others are waiting for you! All matches will be refereed. Everyone is expected to referee the match either before or after their own match.
Rescheduling/Spares: If you cannot make the league night it is your responsibility to reschedule your match or organize a spare to play your game. Rescheduled games are to be made up within two weeks the scheduled date of play. There is only one lady on the spare list, so you can organize another player from your team (one level up or down) to play your match. If a spare is not organized the person who defaulted will receive a score of 0 and the other player will receive full points (33).
Point System: Rally point scoring will be used, meaning that each serve is a point. The player who first scores eleven (11) points wins the game. You must win by 2 points. Matches will be best of five games. Each player receives individual points and team points according to the top 3 game scores (totaled) they achieved in the match. If additional games are played to use the time allocated these scores can also be used in the top 3 tally.
Mark your score (tally of top 3 games) on the score sheet posted on the bulletin board at the end of each league night. Be careful to mark the correct level on the correct team.
Prizes: The two teams with the highest cumulative score will be in the play-offs on April 8th. The team with the most wins (games) in this play-off round will be awarded prizes at the wind-up.
League Coordinators: Janice Baranoski and Teresa Looy
Additional Play: We encourage people to play on the other Monday nights, weekends or at other times conducive to their schedules. League nights have court time paid for but if you have to reschedule one of your league matches or want to play additional nights you will need to pay a drop-in fee. The 17th Wing has a reasonable drop-in fee of $7 or you could purchase an associate membership (details at front desk). It’s a great facility.
