🟡 WILLOBEES DUPR 3.5+ COMPETITIVE PICKLEBALL – CROWS NEST 🐝
DUPR-rated games | Two indoor courts | Two-hour session

Enjoy fast rallies, tactical play and competitive doubles with players rated DUPR 3.5 and above, in a friendly WilloBees atmosphere.

All match scores will be recorded and uploaded to DUPR. By booking, you consent to your results being submitted.

✅ PLAYER ELIGIBILITY

Players must:

• Have a current DUPR rating of 3.5 or above
• Have an active DUPR account
• Agree to all match results being uploaded to DUPR
• Be comfortable with consistent, competitive play at this standard

Please use the same name on DUPR and OpenSports, so the host can verify your rating.

Please do not book if your rating is below 3.5 or you are not yet rated. We have other sessions suited to different standards.

If you’re unsure whether you meet the requirements, please contact the host before booking. Players who do not meet the rating requirement may be removed from the session.

🕘 ARRIVAL, SETUP & PACK-UP

Please arrive 5–10 minutes before the listed start time, ready to check in and help when our booking begins.

Do not enter the court area, set up nets or warm up before the listed start time unless directed by your host or Centre staff. Other groups may have paid bookings up until then, or the Centre may be providing basketball free play. Empty courts do not mean they are available for our use.

Our two-hour booking includes setup, play and pack-up.

Players will rotate on and off court. Please follow the host’s arrangements and help set up and pack away nets, balls and borrowed paddles.

Play must finish with enough time to have everything packed away and the courts cleared by the booking’s finish time.

Please be available for the full session. Late arrivals, early departures and no-shows disrupt the draw and other players’ games. If you’re delayed or cannot attend, please notify the host promptly and manage your booking through OpenSports.

Please respect other sports and avoid interrupting court users before or after our session.

🟡 BALL SAFETY

• If a ball rolls onto your court, call “Ball!” immediately and stop play
• If your ball enters another court, alert the players
• Never cross another court to retrieve a ball
• The server requiring the ball should raise their hand
• Retrieve and return balls only once play has stopped and it is safe
• Stay alert for loose balls underfoot

👟 WHAT TO BRING

• Supportive court shoes—no sandals or thongs
• A drink bottle
• Optional: a small hand towel
• Your paddle—spare paddles are available if needed
