Divisions
Gold Division is a higher skilled/ranked division.
Silver Division is a lesser skilled/ranked division.
Check the division you prefer on the registration form. Ranking from last year’s league standings is helpful in determining which division your team will play in. Silver teams scoring one of the top two places the previous year are required to join the Gold Division.
- Silver Division Games: A match is 3 games to 25, capping at 26 with rally scoring. If time is running out on the 3rd game, the game is to 15. All serves must be underhand unless BOTH TEAMS agree to overhand serving before the game.
- Gold Division Games: A match is 5 games to 25, capping at 26 with rally scoring. If time is running out the 4th & 5th game is to 15. The match of 5 games may need to be decreased to 3 games depending on how many teams sign up to play in the division. Serves may be overhand or underhand with no agreement between teams.
Teams/Players
Each team plays with 6 players. There must be a minimum of 2 men & 2 women. Any less than 4 players, your team will forfeit. A maximum of 3 men can play at a time. Teams must have an equal or greater number of women on the court. Teams may pick up to 2 players if agreed upon by the opposing team. Teams must have at least 4 original roster players in order to compete.
Games
The league tentatively starts on 6/3/24 & ends on 7/29/24. Play downs begin 8/5/24. Games are played on Monday evenings and Tuesdays if needed.
Games will start on time, teams are penalized for arriving late: 5 minutes late = 4 points, 10 minutes late = 6 points, 15 minutes late = 1 game, 20 minutes late = forfeit match.

Playoffs: Playoffs are single elimination games and take place the one or two Mondays following the league's season game schedule, depending on how quickly the elimination games occur. During playoffs, teams should only play until a majority win ratio is reached. (Ex. Silver League: if a team wins the first two games, the third game should not be played.) Teams should play to the full 25 points if a tie is in place.
The top one to two winning teams (depending on number of teams in each league) from each league are awarded prizes.
