Lates and No-Shows

Late arrivals

Please arrive ready to play 10 minutes before the session begins. This is especially true when set-up is involved and allows for a short warm-up before play begins.
If a player arrives late, they should allow the existing game to finish. The players will then change the schedule to the next sheet. The late player will take a bye for the first game, even though they may not be scheduled for a bye.
We encourage members to stay until the end, unless there are byes to take their place if they leave.

No Shows

Because there are limited spots to play pickleball, it is critical that all players show up for the playing times they have signed up for. When illness or other events prevent you from attending a session at the last minute, contact the SUG administrator and a member who is playing to let them know you are not going to make it to the session. If required, an attempt will be made to fill the spot at the last minute.

The consequences listed below apply to deliberate no-shows occurences:

First no-show an email will be sent advising player to be more vigilant.
2nd no-show a warning of a suspension will be sent
3rd no-show a 2 week suspension from playing will be applied.
4th no-show a 1 month suspension will be applied.
5th no-show a permanent suspension will be applied

Extenuating circumstances will be considered by the executive before issuing warnings or suspensions.
