Group Play Rules Melvin Park 2026

Basic Rules

Have fun and use good sportsmanship.

Teams Rotate Sides @ six for each game.

Any line calls that are “close” are considered “in”.

Each team will need to have a captain. Before matches begin on the 29th, team rep will let Brad know who are the A players and who are the B players. Do not stack B teams…or there will be a stiff punishment handed out to that team.

Each team MUST bring one NEW Franklin for the B team play. Brad will be providing a new Lifetime for A team play

Pay special attention that all team members get fair distribution of playing time.

The winning team will contact their captain with scores.

Scores are reported to Brad, and all scores are reported to Brad

If you know you will be out for a week in the fall, please let your captain know asap.

Your first point of contact should always be your captain.

In case of rain, you will have an additional week to get the matches in.
