League Structure
Rules of the league, scoring etc.
Players
Each team can have as many substitutes as they want for each match. Substitutions can only be made between games unless a player is injured during a game and wants to stop playing. Any substitute must be of the same sex.All players on a team should wear the same coloured shirt so that they can be easily identified.
If a team is short of players then they may borrow players from other teams. Ideally players should be borrowed for a whole match and that player should not play in their own team's match that evening.
Matches
Each match consists of 7 games. Each game is of 3 minutes each, unless one team loses all of their players before the 3 minutes is up.
Appeals
In the event that a team is unhappy with a referee's decision in a game there is no appeals process. The referee's decision is final. Remember it's only a bit of fun!
Scoring
At the end of each game the team with most players still on the court wins the game.
At the end of the match the team that has won the most games wins the match.
