Court Rules & Etiquette

Match Format: One doubles game played to 21 points (deuce up to 25).
Court Rotation: After finishing a game, please leave the court so the next group can play.
Skill-Level Courts: Play on the court that meets your skill level to ensure fair games.

Name Tag Placement: Play on the court where your name tag is placed. If you wish to change courts, move your name tag to the court you want to play on.
No Moving Name Tags Without Consent: Do not move another player’s name tag without their permission. If any issues arise, please notify the staff.
No Holding Multiple Courts: You may only hold one spot at a time with your name tag.

Warm-Up Time: Limit warm-up to 2 minutes before starting a match.
Singles Play: Singles games are not allowed when all courts are occupied.
Vacant Court Use: You may warm up or play singles on a vacant court, but must vacate if a doubles group places their name tags to play.

Deciding First Serve: Determine who serves first by tossing the shuttle and seeing which side it points to.
Shuttle Rotation: Alternate shuttles between games, or use Rock-Paper-Scissors to decide.
Winning Team: Winners take new unused shuttles. If there is one left, the losing team can play Rock-Paper-Scissors for it.
Respectful Play: Return shuttles underhand to your opponents and be considerate of other games and players on nearby courts.

Please follow these court rules so everyone can enjoy a friendly and respectful time at ACBC. We want everyone to have fun!
