Play Hard. Play Fair. Play Smart.
By taking to the court, you’re agreeing to the spirit and rules of RPL. This isn’t just a game — it’s the most exciting league in retail.

We play with respect, energy, and purpose.
RPL is a community built on sport and trust. We want matches to be competitive, friendly, and drama-free.

By joining, you commit to:

• Show up on time, ready to go (kit, shoes, balls ✅)
   
• Call your own lines, honestly
   
• Give benefit of the doubt to your opponent if unsure
   
• Replay points if there’s a dispute
   
• Let the server call the score
   
• Stay cool. Don’t lose your head.
   
• No aggression. No ego.
   
• Make the league work: arrange your matches, play them promptly, and bring good vibes.
   

• Balls must be fresh or high quality. Any player can object to old balls before the match starts.
   
• If needed, new balls can be purchased at your venue — and costs should be split fairly.
   
• Court bookings and match setup are your responsibility. Coordinate with your opponents in advance.
   

• Be proactive. The more you reach out, the more you play — and the more points you can earn.
   
• Suggest at least three different slots to your opponents.
   
• If they don’t respond or can’t play any, and you’ve made fair effort, that’s a walkover (4 points to you).
   
• Always confirm time/location to avoid last-minute confusion.
   
• Extensions to the round are rare — plan to get matches done within the published window.
   

• Teams are grouped by skill level — but we may adjust placements to ensure fair, competitive play.
   
• Group sizes: max 6 teams. We may rebalance at any time to improve the experience.
   
• If you sign up as an individual, we’ll pair you with someone compatible — gender doesn’t matter, playing style does.
   
• If you don’t play any matches, you risk being dropped or relegated unless you’re injured or unavailable for work reasons (let us know!).
   

• Matches are self-umpired and built on trust.
   
• Best of 3 sets.
   
  • Set 1 & 2: Tie-break at 6–6 (first to 7, win by 2)
     
  • Set 3: Champions Tie-Break (first to 10, win by 2)
     

• Win 2–0 or Win by Walkover → 4 points
   
• Win 2–1 → 3 points
   
• Lose 1–2 → 2 points
   
• Lose 0–2 → 1 point
   
• No-show or Walkover Given → 0 points 
• You play each opponent once per round.
   
• Top team = most points.
   
• Ties are broken by:
   
  1. Head-to-head result
      
  2. Fewest sets lost (on average)
      
  3. If still tied: coin toss (yep, really)
      

• To claim a walkover: offer 3 dates. If your opponent doesn’t accept or respond, it’s a 4-point win for you.
   
• Provide evidence if needed.
   
• Don’t ghost. Cancel with courtesy and confirmation.
   
• If you’re 30+ minutes late, that’s a walkover against you.
   
• If you cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice, your opponent may claim a walkover — but we prefer you play if you can rearrange.
   

• Weather:
   
  • If unplayable before the match, postpone.
     
  • If rained off during the match, resume from the existing score when possible.
     
• Injury retirements:
   
  • Opponent gets the win (4 points). Retiring team may earn 2 points if they’ve won a set.
     
• Safety:
   
  • If court is unsafe, any player can call off the match before or early into play.
     
• If time runs out:
   
  • Record the score as it stands. Completed sets only count toward points.
     

• Enter results on the RPL Dashboard promptly.
   
• Double-check your published scores before round ends.
   
• Falsifying results = possible disqualification! Zero tolerance.  Let's play fair people!
   
• If a dispute happens mid-match, try to finish it. If you can’t, contact us.
   

This is more than a league. It’s where retail’s brightest come to compete, connect, and grow.

Bring your game. Bring your team.
Bring the right energy — and we’ll bring the movement.
