SOCIAL EVENTS
WEDNESDAY ABCD
The Round Robin version is on hiatus until October.
Starting Wednesday, May 14th, we will have ABCD table paddle at 5pm.
Players put their paddles on the table under A,B,C, or D. If you start in B and you win, you then put your paddle in A. If you lose, you put your paddle in C. This gives everyone a chance to play with different levels. There will be 6 courts for this event, so there should not be a long wait time between games. Volunteers will be there to facilitate this even
HOUSEKEEPING
NEW NPU GUIDELINES
Looking ahead at next week's sign-ups, the Level B group continues to be at full capacity and the other two levels are typically not. It is suggested that unused courts from Level A & C should be shared with the Level B folks. Also, we suggest that Level B folks on the waitlist should show up since there are likely to be open courts.
The Scheduling Committee will look at this and may reallocate the courts going forward.
