Rules for all Sports
Brief Rules for all the games and sports other than dominoes
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.
2. Bridge

semi-final, 20 boards in the Final.

7. Quiz
Teams

Home team to arrange Quiztioneer
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
11. Table Tennis
Teams
of TWO, BOTH of whom should be Rotary members
Two doubles matches of three games to 21 points with two clear points.(In
doubles, The serve alternates every two points, but also the play alternates
between the players within a team during a point)
Plus:
Two singles matches of three games, each to 21 points with two clear points, so each player plays both of the opposite team members.
Highest aggregate number of games is the winner. In the event of a tie, play one more doubles match of three games (or one game if desperately short of time) as a decider.
If time is of the essence, set a time limit at the beginning and if this is likely to be too much, agree a different version at a fair stage.
12. Ten-Pin Bowling
Teams
of FOUR, at least THREE of whom should be Rotary members
Team with highest aggregate score over two games wins – in the event of a tie,
the team containing
the player with the highest individual aggregate score wins
