Normally our coach organises games, but when he's unavailable, we use the Pegboard.The RULES:- On arrival, select your peg and place in the `Waiting' area of the board, i.e. you should join the queue of players waiting to play (no queue jumping!).
- The first player "Waiting' selects three other players from the next five waiting to play. They then play on the next free court (moving their pegs to the `Playing" area of the board when they go).
- Players coming off court return their pegs to the `Waiting' area. Pegs of the winning pair are placed on the board before the pegs of the losing pair.
Note: with six courts this has become rather unwieldy, so pairings and contests have been chosen informally. It's time for a debate on this - perhaps more than one pegboard could work, each covering two or three courts, though this effectively partitions the club. Ideas welcome! |
