  Tuesdays –  “Queen of the Court” system, where there will be a “winner court” where all courts will rotate depending on losses & wins. The loser moves to a different court to play and the winners rotate opposite. A “game” will be a set to 15 points, win by 2, cap at 21. We have 4   courts available to play, so there will constantly be moving parts. We will have a recreation attendant/staff member(s) available to help with the flow of the system, they will be on site to ensure play is rotating correctly and to observe how things are going. We encourage to sign up with people you plan to play with to ensure you’re playing at the same skill level
