Round Robins
Round Robin play is structured around players' skill levels. Its aim is to have all players playing against those who have roughly the same level of skill or ability, while providing a fun, yet competitive, environment for most people.
Round Robins are usually played in 2-hour blocks of time. See the schedule.
If you hold a USAPA skill level rating that's the level you play for all events.
If you are not USAPA rated our Club has implemented a rating process where an impartial assessment of your skills will be established and you'll play all events at your "Club" level rating.
The club evaluation process applies to 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 levels.
Beginners should start at the 2.0 level and as they learn the game they will be able advance to the 2.5 level based on recommendation from an executive representative.
Descriptions of the various skill levels can be found at Skill Level Ratings & Definitions.
In the two hours allocated to each Round Robin you will play six games, each with a different partner and against a different pair of opponents. 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. A Round Robin Captain is present at every Round Robin.
Please arrive no later than fifteen minutes before the Round Robin is scheduled to start.
After each game, simply check the schedule and move to the next court where you will play with a new partner and against new opponents. 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.
