Open Play
Rotation-based match play, organized by skill level.
Overview
Open play allows individuals to sign up and participate in rotation-based match play. Sessions run 2 hours and are divided by skill level, currently ranging from 2.0+ through 5.0+. Matches are played to 11, win by 2. Winning teams stay on court and split; losing teams rotate off and re-enter the paddle rack queue. Any player who wins two consecutive matches must also rotate off, keeping things moving for everyone in the queue. Court capacity is capped at 6 players per court (4 playing, 2 waiting).
Why We Offer It
The easiest way to get on a court without booking a private reservation or committing to a league.
Who It's For
Players at 3.5 and above must have a verified DUPR rating or a club rating assigned by an OPA instructor within Court Reserve — unverified players are not permitted in rated sessions. Guests are only permitted in unverified (below 3.5) open play sessions, since guest skill levels can't be independently confirmed.
