All players must play at the appropriate court for their skill level. If a player is consistently winning, they should move to a higher-level court. If a player is consistently losing, they should move to a lower skilled court. Challenge rules are 2 on and 2 off, winners stay on for up to 3 games. If there are more than 4 paddles waiting for that specific court, then it is 4 on and 4 off. Uncooperative players are subject to being asked to leave a court by a Hub representative. Aggressively uncooperative players may be asked to leave the facility and be subject to membership suspension or termination.

3.2 Center (Premium) Court (s):

Premium courts don’t operate like standard challenge or activity courts due to the high cost to maintain the pristine nature of the courts. For this reason these courts can only be played on if reserved by a member for a defined fee, as a part of a Hub sponsored event, or for players with who have achieved a specific DUPR or Club rating. Ratings may vary based on club and courts.

If a player chooses to purchase the paddle on the day they rented it, the rental fees can be applied towards the purchase of the paddle.
