FAQ

FAQ

What exactly is a “Flex” League?

RECS Flex Leagues are essentially leveled ladder leagues with different partners each time you play, based on which registrants “opt-in” to play each day & time. Every player is their own “team”.

For each Game Day occurrence, the Court Reserve software will seed the participants who have "opted in" to that Game Day occurrence prior to playing based on the standings, which are calculated from the game results (total points won, not wins and losses) that the players input after each game.

What are the costs to participate, and can anyone join?

  • There is a nominal registration fee for the league (determined by membership level).
  • Members will be able to register first for the overall league, as well as each individual play occurrence.
  • There is a “pay per play” fee, also determined by membership level and in line with membership level hourly rates.

What is the registration deadline, and how many spaces are there in each league?

  • Registration is open for each league until Nov. 12, or until it fills.
  • The total number of spots in each skill based league is capped at 50 for now.
  • There will be a waitlist for any league that fills.

Is there a minimum / maximum limit on the number of times someone must or can play?

  • Anyone who hasn’t played at least once in the first two weeks after registering may be removed, and the next person on the waitlist will be added.
  • There are well over 100 opportunities for registrants, in each skill division, to play over a 7-week period, at different times each day, from early morning to late evenings.
  • Any league registrant can ‘opt-in’ to play in as many occurrences as are available. And if there is enough demand, we will sometimes be able to add more game day occurrences for the opportunity to play.

We will be processing registration requests the week of 10/30 and will be in touch with those who have requested admittance.

Once I’m an officially registered player in one of the RECS Flex League skill divisions, how do I know when to play?

  • Registrants will be able to “opt in” to upcoming Game Day occurrences -- advanced registration terms per membership levels apply.
  • There are well over 100 opportunities for registrants, in each skill division, to play over a 7-week period, at different times each day, from early morning to late evenings.

Can I participate in more than one league if my rating allows?

We ask that you choose one and stick with it – there will be plenty of opportunities to play. The standings will begin to show how you are faring within your league, and this information should be taken into account before registering for the next (winter) session.

In what ways will RECS communicate with players in each league?

There are a variety of ways that we will be communicating with players about anything from scheduling matters, to last minute openings to play in a Game Day occurrence, to rules or procedural reminders.

  • GroupMe – anyone who is registered will be sent a link to join a group in the GroupMe app specifically for their skill level division. This group will have the most specific and frequent communications specific to that Flex League skill level.
  • Push Notifications – please be sure that you are allowing push notifications in your Court Reserve settings, as we will employ this communication tool for urgent matters. 
  • Other communication tools include Global Announcements in Court Reserve, the RECS Facebook member group, as well as email and, if urgent, text messaging.
