MATCH DURATION:
The matches last two times 25 minutes after a 10-minute warm-up. You count the games per match.
A buzzer will sound at the half-hour mark before the end of the match.
This is also a sign that the next players can go onto the court.
A few minutes past the half-hour mark, the buzzer sounds for the start of the first half, and a few minutes past the hour for the start of the second half. You then switch sides.
The buzzer is legally valid, so pay no attention to the clock in the hall.
SCORING:
After every 25 minutes:
In the event of a tie (e.g. 4-4 or 5-5), each gets 2 points.
With a one-game difference (e.g. 5-4 or 4-3), the winning party receives 3 points and the loser 1 point.
In the event of a difference of more than one game, the winning party receives 4 points and the loser 0 points.
SUBSTITUTES:
If you are unable to attend, find a replacement from THE SAME or A LOWER POOL, regardless of the standings.
If you cannot find a substitute within the league, you are allowed to ask someone who is not currently playing in the league but has the same skill level as the player being substituted for. Please do keep this in mind.
If you play with a substitute, you start 2 games down (0-2) and the opponent starts serving.
If both players are absent (2 substitutes), the second match also starts 2 games down, and the opponent serves first. Additionally, the rule applies that each pair may only request the same substitute once per season.
We trust that everyone adheres to this rule. If someone is injured for a long period, a solution will be sought in consultation.
It is not possible to reschedule a match. If you are unable to attend, you must arrange a replacement yourself. If you are unable to attend as a pair, you must find a replacement pair. All of this is in accordance with the rules described above.
You can record the result of the match on the match form found at the bar.
If the result is not entered, 4-4 is entered on toernooi.nl for each half.
In the event that the opponents do not appear, the match is won by the pair that is present with a score of 4-0/4-0, without extra points.
PHONE NUMBERS:
To make it easier to find a substitute, we will send everyone an email with the players' names and phone numbers before the start of the competition. Do you object to sharing this information? If so, please notify the organization by email no later than September 26. cr@tvkontakt.nl. Then we will remove your name and phone number from the list.
As a tip, we would like to mention that you can also search for a fellow club member via the TV Kontakt ClubApp.
COMPETITION CLOSING
At the end of the competition, a social evening with a delicious buffet is being organized. Subject to change, this evening is scheduled for Friday, April 7, 2023.
