4.0/4.5 Partner Performance Play

Overview

This activity is designed for women 4.0 and 4.5 skill level players. It is focused on players working together as partners in a competitive environment to achieve success—earning those wins!

The format is tournament style play with pools of teams. Every seventh week, there will be a playoff game whereby the past six weeks’ first place winners from each pool are invited to participate in the playoffs.

Participation & Registration

• Can accommodate 12 teams (24 players) per session. Selection will be on a first-come basis.
• No week after week commitment. Sign up for just one play date, all play dates, or anything in between.
• Players will sign up with a partner. Only one person from a team should sign up. Do not submit your registration until you have secured a partner. Also, you will need to supply your partner's email address and phone number, so have it available when registering.
• The same partners cannot play together two consecutive weeks, nor can they play together more than three times during the current six-week period.

Format

• This is tournament style play.
• The format outlined below is subject to change based upon the number of participants.
• Teams will be seeded and placed into pools using tournament seeding best practices.
• Players will play each team in their pool one game using regular scoring. Games will be played to 11, win by 1, switching at 6. (Subject to change.)
• First and second place winners from each pool will be acknowledged.
• Every seventh week, the first-place winners in each pool will be invited to participate in a “Playoff.” If one of the first-place teams cannot participate in the playoffs or if the same team wins more than once within the current six-week period, the second-place team for that pool's session will be invited. If you play with a different partner in the future and your team earns first place in your pool, then your partner (if she wants to play in the Playoffs) should find a partner from the pool of past 2nd place winners. This information can be obtained from the Pool Champions webpage.

Cancellations

If a team must drop from the competition, immediately email Betty Sullentrup or call (636-346-5811) so that a replacement team can be secured. Failure to notify of a cancellation will result in a ban from future competition.

Timeouts

Teams are allowed one, 1-minute timeout per game. Hydration stops are allowed as needed. A hydration stop is intended to be a time to take in fluids. It should not be used as a resting period or a prolonged timeout. Medical timeouts are allowed (10 minutes).
