Paddlerack system

How to Use the Rack & Respect the Rotation

Rack Basics:

• The paddle rack has 4 slots per colour.
• Each colour = 1 doubles game.
• Place your paddle at the end of the line, left to right.
• If the rack is full on the right, wrap around to the far left to continue adding paddles.

Next Game Indicator:

• The sliding ball on the cable shows which game is up next.
• It moves left to right, then wraps back to the far left when it reaches the end.

Player Guidelines:

• Single Players:
  • Look for an open slot in a partially filled game, or place your paddle at the end of the line.

• Groups of 2 or 3:
  • Join a game with enough available slots, or place your paddles at the end of the line.

• Groups of 4:
  • If you do not wish to split up, you may skip over empty slots ahead and place your paddles in the next full set of 4 same-colour slots.
  • Players coming off courts or just arriving may fill open slots ahead.

Important Etiquette:

• Do not touch other players’ paddles.
• Never shift or rearrange paddles in the rack.
• Only move the “Next Game” ball – not the paddles.
• When busy, please keep an eye on the rack so you’re ready when it’s your turn to play.
• When your game ends and you tap paddles, call out loud: “Next game on court [1-6]!”
