Rules for all Sports

Rotary District 1145 Sports Competitions – Rules

Please note that these rules are set out for guidance only – participating entrants/teams may agree to vary by
mutual consent. It is traditional for the home team to arrange a suitable venue for each match. But where the distances are large, please try and find a venue halfway. It is also traditional for the home team to provide a few snacks if possible.

1. Badminton
Teams of TWO, BOTH of whom should be Rotary members
Doubles Match: Best of three games – first to 21 points wins each game, but must win by at least two clear points

Alternative if time:

Two singles matches: So each player on one team plays a match of three games against both of the opposing players individually.

The Singles matches have been added because some players felt they were travelling so far for a very short match. Please agree at the beginning of the match whether you are going to play the Singles as well as the Doubles.

Teams of FOUR, at least THREE of whom should be Rotary members

Ten rounds of ten questions each – questions kindly written by Simon Edmands

8. Skittles
Teams of SIX to TEN players, at least HALF of whom MUST be Rotary members
Team with highest aggregate score after THIRTY GOES – in the event of a tie, the team containing the player with the highest individual aggregate score wins.

Skittles works best with TEN players in each team, but if you cannot find ten players, play with less and rotate through your group until you have completed THIRTY GOES. The next player due to play starts the next round – you do not restart if you have an odd number.

We suggest each team pays half the costs of hiring the skittle alley regardless of how many players they field.

9. Snooker Singles
Open to individual Rotary members only
Best of three frames

10. Snooker Pairs
Teams of TWO, BOTH of whom should be Rotary members
Best of three frames
