The Better Bodies Cross Training Center
Squash League Rules and Information

• The cost of the League is $85.00.  This will cover the cost of everything, including the "pizza & beer" at the end of the year.  Non-members of Better Bodies must pay $125.00.  Please pay the front desk before November 15/2008.

• All matches will be played on Tuesday or the Thursday evenings (Unless schedule indicates differently.)   There will be no rescheduling of matches.

• Matches will begin at 7:00p.m.  This will be the only time posted.  The order of play will rotate as per the schedule, and it will be your responsibility to be ready to play when the court becomes available. 

• There will be a zero minute default rule for the matches every evening.  This means that you MUST be ready to step on court at the start time, so come early to do any warm-up or stretching off court prior to your match.  The matches will begin at 7:00pm, then 7:30pm, then 8:00pm then 8:30pm.  Therefore, we suggest arriving early and supporting your team.  Hell, stay late and support your team. 

• All matches, except for the first, are to be refereed by the winner of the previous match or a designate.  Failure to referee will result in the loss of points for you match.  This would apply to your spare also.

• Re the spare list remember that the level indicated is the lowest position that a player may spare at.  It should be noted that many players are quite capable of sparing at positions higher than the one indicated.  Team members may also play up when a spare is unavailable for a position.  If you get a spare that is not on the list, they must be willing to go on the spares list so that others may call them.  New spares will not be allowed after March 1st.

• Challenging up.  If you just "Know" that you can beat the person above you, tell your captain.  He will then inform Marie.  One cannot change in the middle of a round.  The designated player must complete the round then may change.

• Scoring will be as follows: 1 point for each game won, 1 point for the winner of the match & 1 point for refereeing the match (excluding the first match) & 1 point for the wearing of your sponsored T-shirt.  The 1 pt. For the T-shirt will begin week of December 5th.  Only the original member of the team may get a point for the T-shirt.

• Players are responsible for getting their own spare.  A spares list will be provided for this purpose.  If all else fails, consult you captain and teammates for help.  Before you bring in a spare not currently on the list, please check with Marie.  Please call me when you have a spare and if possible, I will include their name on the scoresheet. Players may not spare for their team, i.e. play twice in one night.  Let your spares know about the "Arriving Late" rule.

• Please note that in all fairness to your team, you are not to play other matches on your league nights.  This is only fair to other members of the club who are not League members who are vying for court times.

• Absences due to injury or other.  If you are away from League for whatever reason for more than 4 consecutive nights, we reserve the right to replace you.  Please let us know if you are going away for any length of time or suffer an injury.

• Changes and additions to these rules may occur if a need for them becomes apparent.
