    We’re working to make the double header formats more consistent for month to month. September went well, so we’ll use the same format for October.

    Handicaps: In race to 10 matches, Bring teams play to 11, Draw teams play to 9, and the Bring team gets the first drop. In 2/3 matches, Bring teams play to 6, Draw teams play to 5, and the Bring team gets the first drop in the first game. 

    Formats may change in the event of high turnout.

  • King and Prince Standings

    We’re halfway through King and Prince of the Hill, and we’ve got several players making a bid for the title. The King receives a bonus $1000, trophy, and jacket. Our Prince will receive a slick trophy designed by students at Freestyle Academy in Mountain View.

  • Prince of the Hill Schedule

    We are two days away from the start of Prince of the Hill, we’ve got 9 confirmed teams set to play. Sign-ups close at noon on Saturday, Sep 26.

    If you want to play but aren’t partnered up, let me know. I’ll randomly pair any remaining players at noon on Saturday. (If we have an odd number of players, someone is going to get left out. I’ll buy them lunch and then they can help me run the tournament.)

    Handicap Monster Rules

    • Each game is to 7 points.
    • Each beginner on each gets a point spot. (Example: if two beginners play two rookies, the beginner team starts with two points)
    • Point spots cancel out. (Example: if a beginner/rookie team plays another beginner/rookie team, both teams start with 0 points.)
    • If a team is giving up a point spot, they serve first.
    • Example: if a beginner/rookie team plays a rookie/rookie team, the beginner/rookie team starts with 1 point, but the rookie/rookie team serves the ball.

  • September Schedule
