Game Allocation:
A computer Game Scheduler allocates games and courts to players at 20-minute intervals. The system assigns games based on player grades, but may occasionally pair players from different grades.
Players are not allowed to switch places in Allocated Game without consent of
Supervisor.

Arrival Time:
If players have arrived late after their session commences, their spot in the game will be filled by replacements, and the allocated game time (i.e., the entire 20 minutes) is forfeited.

Game Arrangement:
To better assist players to arrange games for them play with their peers and to assist with supervisors to keep track of these arrangements, we would like to introduce the following protocol:

1. Only one arranged game is allowed per session per player.
2. A formal game request sheet must be filled and signed by all players in the arrangement.
3. Each player in an arrangement is considered to have their arranged game quota consumed (i.e., Player A has arranged game with Player B, both Players A and B cannot be part of another arranged game in the same session.)
   Supervisors are responsible in arranging games; players are not authorised to instruct supervisors on game arrangements.

Walk-in:
Payment accepted only via OpenSport for walk-ins.
Walk-ins are dependent on excess Spots availability.
Please note that the number of walk-in spots are subject to change without notice.

Shuttles allocation:
Max new shuttles will be capped at 2 per Round.
Shuttle must be broken to be able to get a replacement shuttle
Unless
If broken within the last 5 minutes of the Round, no new shuttle will be provided.
After that, players are expected to recycle old shuttles from the Floor.
