Scheduled match play begins at the Match Start Time posted on your weekly score sheet, real time – not bar time. There is no grace period if one player from both teams is present. The coin must be flipped at the Match Start Time. Failure to do so may result in individual matches forfeits.
If a team does not comply with this rule, contact the League Office Cell Phone immediately. Even if only one player is available on one or both teams, start play on time. Play must be continuous once the first match has begun.
- A team may forfeit the first individual match if there is no player present to start the match after fifteen minutes.
- A team may forfeit two individual matches if there is no player present to start the match two (2) minutes after the first forfeit.
- A team may forfeit the entire team match if there is no player present to start the match 2 minutes after the second forfeit.
The League Office must be contacted prior to matches being forfeited due to a team not being at the match site on time.
