Drop-In Play Procedure

• Beginner Drop-in play is available daily on court 4.
• Single Drop-in play is available daily on the upper courts.
• Foursome Drop-in is available on the lower courts.

Check the daily court schedules for the drop-in play time periods.

The Club will monitor drop-in activity, and may adjust the number of courts available from time-to-time.

Singles SIGN-UP BOARD Procedure:

1.     Players will write their names and time in the box on the sign-up board immediately below the last player listed. Each player must write his or her own name on the sign-up board. You cannot enter your name into a new box until the preceding box has four names in it.

2.     When a court becomes free, the four players in the next box on the sign-up board will write in the box the court number on which they will be playing, and draw a line through that box. Players will exit the court after one game to 11, win by 2, unless there is no player waiting.

3.     After exiting, a player may write his or her name again below the last player listed on the sign-up board, if they wish to continue to play.

4.     You must play with the next available players, or you must remove your name from the sign-up board.

FOURSOME RESERVATIONS

1. You may NOT sign up for your foursome until all 4 players are at the sign-up board and not on the courts.

When reservation players are nearing the end of their reserved time (8:30 AM Summer/9:00 AM Winter) and when the next time slot is for drop-in play, those players MUST prepare to exit the court at five minutes before the end of their reserved time. This applies even if the court will be empty waiting for drop-in players to arrive. Those exiting the courts may add their names on the drop-in play sign-up board.

• In the interest of efficiency and fairness, drop-in players may begin to sign up for courts 15 minutes before drop-in play is scheduled to commence. Reserved court players may not sign up for drop-in play until they have vacated their reserved court, and they will not resume play until 8:30/9:00 AM (Summer/Winter) start time for drop-in play  when it is their turn on the drop-in sign-up board.

Some practices have evolved which pose no problem.

• If at the time drop-in play commences, there is no one signed up on the drop-in board (single sign ups on upper courts, foursome sign ups on lower courts), then those playing on a reserved court may continue to play, if they wish, until there are drop-in sign ups.

• Also, if at the time drop-in play commences, there are players signed up on the drop-in board, but there are enough open courts to accommodate them, then those playing on a reserved court may continue to play, if they wish, until there are drop-in players waiting with all courts in use.

• However, in no way do these practices allow play on a reserved court past 8:30 AM (current start time for drop-in play) if drop-in players are waiting, even to finish a game.
