The 2024 Spring Fun League will be divided into three leagues: Low Intermediate, High Intermediate and Advanced. The league will run for 5 consecutive weeks and then the top two teams will compete in a championship match the following week. The weekly schedule for advanced and high intermediate divisions will consist of 5 rounds of play: women's doubles, men’s doubles and mixed doubles. The lower intermediate division will play 3 rounds.
Scoring: Each game will be played first to 15 and teams will switch sides after one team reaches 8 points. Awards at the end of the league are based on total games won. Cumulative scores/standings will be posted on the club website weekly.
Ties: In the event of a tie at the end of the 5 weeks of league play, the order of tie breakers will be as follows:
Most total points scored
Least total points allowed
Coin flip
Schedule:
Advanced – Mondays February 26 – March 25 10:30am
Intermediate (Low and High) – Wednesdays February 28-March 27 10:30am
All divisions will have a championship round on Wednesday April 3 10:30AM, followed by awards and lunch. (There are no matches on Mon April 1)
Sub Players: In the event that a League player is unable to play, they are required to request a sub player from Stefanie Newmark or Joan Moore at least 24 hours in advance, the sooner the better.
Injuries: In the event a player sustains an injury during league play and is unable to finish their matches for that day, a retirement will be scored for the game in progress with the winning team scoring 15 and the retiring player (and their partner) retaining any points they have earned in that match. Any subsequent matches for that day that are not played will be a score of 15-0 recorded.
Rules and Courtesy: Please remember that while everyone wants to be successful when playing, courtesy and kindness makes for a more positive environment for all members involved in the Fun Leagues. This is being run by your fellow SCA members and is completely volunteer. Without the volunteers there would be no tournaments. Thanks for your cooperation!!!!!

This will give our members an opportunity to swap, buy, sell any of those pickleball items you have hanging around the house that you are not using. This will include unwanted gear (bags, balls, etc.). All transactions must be from club members to club members. The club is hosting this event and is not involved in any of the individual transactions.
Thanks to all who responded to the email regarding the LADIES DOUBLES TOURNEY.
