EVALUATIONS GAME RULES & FORMAT

Mandatory Player Evaluations – Skinny Singles Format

The evaluation session will begin at 8:15 AM, and attendance is mandatory to ensure proper placement in groups with players of similar skill levels.

Players will do a Skinny Singles Ladder, for about an hour.  Two players will compete one-on-one within a half-court. The pros will observe each player’s skill level, movement, shot selection, and strategy.

• Rally Scoring: A point is awarded on every rally, whether won by the server or receiver.
• Court Setup: Only half of the court is used for play, and you will play straight ahead.
• Game Duration: Each game will last 3–4 minutes.
• Scoring & Advancement:
  
  • The highest score at the end of the time limit wins.
  • If the score is tied, one additional point will be played to determine the winner.
  • Winners move up one court and split, while losers move down one court and split.
• Rounds: Each player will compete in 7–8 games.

Come ready to play and warm up accordingly, but avoid overexertion before evaluations.
