Lightning Rosters

A Lightning Roster is a short and sharp offering to allow those who can’t commit over longer periods of time. These are not team-based, but you will mix with other players dependant on yours and their results. The winning entry on the court moves up (or stays on Court 1), while the bottom placed entry on the court will be moved back a court (or stays on Court 8).

Fill-ins:

You are required to find your own fill-in to play for you if you are unavailable to play on any given week. In the lightning roster, we must be informed of who the fill-in is prior to games commencing on the evening, and it must be marked on the sheet for the night’s games. Fill-ins cannot be promoted, however they can still be demoted. When choosing a fill-in, try your best to find someone of a similar skill level to ensure the skill within your current pool is appropriate – it’s not fun for anyone when there’s a skill mismatch! 

Please select all options that you would like to play
