REFEREES:
All games will be self-officiated. Self-Officiating Guidelines: In the spirit of fair play and sportsmanship, all participants are entrusted with making calls during gameplay. When it comes to line calls, the receiving team should make the call only if the ball's out status is unmistakably clear. If there's any uncertainty, the benefit should be given to the in-bounds call, and the game should continue. Additionally, the hitting team has the responsibility to call out any balls they see as out, even if it's against their own favor. Both teams have the authority to call faults, whether it's on service or violations within the non-volley zone. Furthermore, players are expected to be honest in calling out faults on themselves or their partners. Let's keep the spirit of fair competition alive throughout the tournament!
EQUIPMENT:
Bring your own equipment, including paddles and water bottles. We will supply the balls! Newbies – let us know if you need to borrow a paddle!
PRIZES:
We’ll have medals for all division champions and runners-up, plus a plaque where each Paddle Battle winner’s name will be engraved for this inaugural event!
WITHDRAWALS/REFUNDS:
Withdrawals available until registration closes. Refunds will be mailed in check form to withdrawn registrants 3-4 weeks after a registration has been withdrawn. Please note that the service fee and payment processing is non-refundable. No refunds after registration closes.
