Beginners are welcome to come. Richard Lederer will be conducting free lessons. Indicate if you will need a paddle.
The Format
Our format is ladder play and we have 10 courts (#1 is top and #10 is bottom). That means that you and your partner will play your first game on an assigned court, and then the winners will move up to the higher court, split up, and find new partners on that court. The losers will move down to the lower court, split up, and find new partners on that court. Exceptions to this are courts 1, 2, and 10. Winners on court 1 stay partnered and on that court. Winners on court 2 move up but stay partnered. Losers on court 10 will split up but stay on court 10, and play again.
Every 15 Minutes
- Games will start precisly every 15 minutes to keep play moving.
- Courts are reserved for 2 hours starting at 8:30 am.
- Play will be to 11 points (win by 2), or whoever is ahead at the end of the 15 minutes.
- Get to your court quickly and warm up if you need to, but you have 15 minutes to get your warmup and game completed before moving courts and starting again.
- We will play for 1.5 hours (6 games) and then have a final match for all the marbles on court 1 with the two top teams.
- We will have an awards ceremony at the end for the winners and give out cash for winners, and some other prizes as well.
You will be placed on the ladder for your first game based on your assessment of your current level of play. Lower ranked players will start toward the bottom of the ladder and higher ranked players will start toward the top. Where you end up will be determined by how you play relative to other players on the ladder. The better you can assess your skillset, the better you will be placed and playing people at your level of play.
