The current limit for each session is 32 players.
It was introduced in June 2020 to ensure the maximum wait time between games is 15 minutes.
The total of some sessions may exceed the limit due to off peak players. Players who’ve missed out may receive permission to attend later in the session when someone has left.
The optimal number of players is a few below the limit, as it allows for a better rotation among players.
In the warmer months, our target is 28. To help players stay warm in winter, we lower it to 26.
When there is room, we will invite new players to attend.
Regular weekdays are the busiest, while public and school holidays are usually the quietest.
Weather-related events, such as extreme heat and storms, often affect the turnout.
Because we play doubles on all four courts, there will be an average wait time of 15 minutes between games if all 32 players are present.
When there are fewer than 32 players, some back-to-back games are possible, with members having priority.
