OP Rules

A few changes have been made to the league this year. They are listed as follows:

• There are six matches per team instead of seven - This was done to eliminate too many matches and not enough players to fill them out last year. The most likely configuration will be 3 singles and 3 doubles, but captains of each team can customize it depending on the demand that week.
• We now have 8 courts every Tuesday night - We added a court and with one less match, this will eliminate matches starting long after 7pm. Now 8 matches are played at 5pm, 8 matches are played at 6pm, and the remaining 2 matches will be played as soon as a court opens from there.
• Balls will be provided - Balls will be provided by the league and will be included in your league dues.
• Matches will be scheduled ahead of time - The captains this year are going to work together and with their players to get all of their matches lined up before Tuesday. So make sure you have access to your email address, they will be updating you every week regarding matchups.
• Flexible Scheduling - Once your matchup is identified, you can play your match whenever and wherever you want up until Tuesday night if you and your opponent agree to it. If you are playing a fellow Dotte and you would both rather play your match at the KCK Y, then you can do so, just be sure to report the results to your captain.
• Admission for non-members is still $5 per entry - This price is more than fair, and the reason you have to pay for each visit instead of an upfront fee is to help out other handball players who cannot be there every week. It would not be fair for them to have to pay $50 and only appear 3-4 times.
• Players will only play within their rating - To guarantee a competitive match, all players will play only against opponents that are in their rating class (For more info, click here). This will eliminate lopsided matches and encourage all players to improve their game.

If you have any questions about the league changes, please let me know.
