(PLEASE READ OUR POLICY AND GUIDELINES BELOW BEFORE JOINING 😊) It’s October and we’re keeping our community tradition alive! It’s time for our monthly birthday bash as we gather to celebrate all our OCTOBER BIRTHDAY CELEBRANTS on the court! 🎉🎂 🎨 DRESS CODE: POPS OF COLOR! Leave the plain black and dark grey shirts at home for this session. Wear your brightest, most vibrant athletic wear (neon yellow, pink, electric blue, bright green, or orange) to help us flood the courts with color and celebrate our OCTOBER celebrants in style! 🎂 BIRTHDAY PERKS: Free Tokens: We have a small gift or token of appreciation ready for all our October birthday celebrants in attendance! 🎁 Mini Potbless: In the spirit of celebration, everyone is welcome to bring food to share with the group, but please note that this is NOT required. NOTE: Non-October birthday celebrants are very much welcome to join too. GAME ROTATION & COURT RULES: 🏓 First 2 Games: Dink only to get warmed up! ⏱️ Regular Games (Fast Rotation): To maximize playtime for everyone and keep court transitions moving swiftly, all matches will feature sudden-death scoring (first to 11 points, no deuce). ⏱️ 13-Minute Game Limit: Each game is strictly capped at 13 minutes max (or first to 11 points). As your court approaches the 13-minute mark, an organizer will walk over to remind you to wrap up so the next waiting group can jump on! Note: If there are only 10 to 12 total players, only 1 court will be utilized. Since this is an outdoor venue, please read our Inclement Weather Policy. 💳 How to Join & Payment Policy (Pay Before You Play) Step 1: Tap REQUEST TO JOIN to enter the WAITLIST. ⚠️ NOTE: Please only send your payment after you are successfully placed on the WAITLIST.
