* Matches are marked as forfeits if a person fails to show up for their scheduled match, or does not respond to any attempts to reschedule a match. Getting a game marked as forfeit is only permanent if the match is not made up by the end of the current league season

League Rule Change: Cancelled Matches

So far this league season when a match has been cancelled we’ve just made that timeslot available to whoever wanted to get their match over with sooner or to anyone who wanted to play a pickup game. It has been pointed out to us that this isn’t fair to the person whose match was originally scheduled for that timeslot, so we’ve decide to make a new rule:

3 (o). If a match is rescheduled or forfeited by one of the players, then the other player will be allowed to use the court time to make up any previously missed matches or for non-league matches with other players of their choosing. If the other player does not wish to use the timeslot, then the league manager will decide how the open timeslot is to be used.

We will post this on the board at the YMCA before matches begin this friday night and do our best to make sure that everyone is aware of it.

Everett Racquetball Player is looking for an early morning partner

There is a racquetball player at the Everett YMCA who is looking for an opponent between 5am and 7:30am every weekday morning. He’s always at the Everett Y during those times, but there are usually not people to play. David is very enthusiastic about racquetball and would welcome opponents of any skill level.
