Berko Morning Rally

The Berko Morning Rally is a social event and to allow players the opportunity to play at least once a week. The courts will be available from 10am to 12noon. You can come when you want for as long as you want. Obviously the more people come the more fun and social it is, but you may get less court time! Each person gets a clothes peg with a number on it and writes their name on the register against that number. That clothes peg is then put on the 'left end of the play order' board pushing all other pegs on the board to the right. The ‘owners’ of the four pegs at the right hand end of the of the board then play. Once they have finished they take their pegs off the board and, if they want to play again, they put their peg back on to 'left end of the board. If they don’t want to play again they should return their peg to the box. When they put the pegs back on the board it helps to change the order so that they don't always play with the same people. In general Court 2 will be for more experienced players. They will play an Americano format in which each player serves 4 times. After the 4th player has served the process is repeated once more so that each player serves 8 times overall. Court 1 will be for less experienced players. They can either play the Americano format or play for 15 minutes before changing over. It is a self managed event. Those subscribers who attend are expected to help manage it!
