Racketball League Rules
To play in the Clements Squash Club RACKETBALL leagues requires you to be a member of Clement Squash Club.
All new players will enter the league at the lowest level
To stay in the leagues requires members to play a minimum of 2 games each league session (subject to there being a minimum of 4 players in their league).
If members cannot, or do not play the requisite number of games but wish to play in the next league session, then they must enter their name on the "Dropout, Injury, or Sickness" list.
If a member withdraws from the league, then any points for or against will be void.
League games are played to World Squash Federation SQUASH57/RACKETBALL rules. It is incumbent upon members to be conversant with the rules of play.
League games are decided by playing the best of 5 games. Points are awarded for each game won as follows:
| Score | Player A | Player B |
|---|---|---|
| 3-0 | 6 | 1 |
| 3-1 | 5 | 2 |
| 3-2 | 4 | 3 |
| 2-2 | 3 | 3 |
| 2-1 | 3 | 2 |
| 2.0 | 3 | 1 |
| 1-1 | 2 | 2 |
| 1-0 | 2 | 1 |
| Walk Over | 3 | 0 |
If a game is unfinished at the end of forty minutes, then it can be claimed by the leading player providing that the player has reached 7 points and is at least 2 point in the lead ie - 7-5, 8-6, 9-7, 10-8.
If a player retires from the game for any reason the remaining player may claim the points for un-played games and for incomplete games.
All members participating within the league must make every effort to contact their opponents to arrange their games.
In the event that a player offers their opponent two reasonable dates and times to play their game and their opponent does not accept either, then a walk-over can be claimed. In this event a score of 3-0 should be claimed and “w/o” written under the “3” that is entered on the league score sheet to indicate that a walk-over has been claimed.
If a member is more than 10 minutes late for an agreed match, then the player who is on court ready to play may claim a walkover.
All scores must be entered legibly on the league score sheet to be valid. Games not played should be left blank.
Promotion depends on the number of leagues and is only guaranteed for the person winning their box. Other promotions and demotions are dependent upon return from injury etc. and are not guaranteed.
The league secretary has discretionary power to take remedial action to cover any eventuality or extenuating circumstance and their decision is final.
