Round Robin Play

​

A “Round Robin” is structured form of play organized by skill levels. In the time allocated to each Round Robin session (100 minutes) you will play six games, each with a different partner and against a different pair of opponents. It is designed so that all players are playing against people of roughly equal ability, which makes play the most fun and reasonably competitive for the majority of players.

​

When you arrive you will be assigned a number. Your number remains yours throughout the session and dictates which court you play on, with whom you are playing as a partner, and against which opponents. Your Round Robin Captain will help you get started with this. By the end of six games you will have played with six different partners and against 12 different opponents! You may have a “bye” (where you sit out for one game) if there is an uneven number of players signed up. If you have a “bye” there will be a seventh game played consisting of the “bye” players so that everybody gets to play six games.

​

A Round Robin Captain is present at every Round Robin. The Captain determines the rotation, manages the signup sheet and the time clock, posts the rotation and signup lists, and manages other aspects of Round Robin play. In order to keep everything running smoothly and on-time, the Captain must do some advance preparation to get things rolling. It is important that players arrive AT LEAST ten minutes before the Round Robin is scheduled to start. Late arrivals may be replaced or simply not allowed to play.
