⚠️ MIX-IN RULES OF PLAY ⚠️
There will usually be a regular mix-in member to guide the group on rotation timings and groupings, and explain what happens to new joiners. It usually makes sense but even the old hands get confused sometimes! The general rules are: the format is doubles play when in multiples of four and singles when two (until doubles rotate).
Rotation is every 20 minutes, regardless of score, i.e. no time is given for one court to finish the point or game they’re currently on. The exception is if time is called when the score is even, e.g. 2-2, 30-30; in this circumstance, one more point will be played.
Winners remain on their court and split. Losers rotate by one court in an anti-clockwise direction (as viewed from the clubhouse) and split.
