Officiating & Referee Roles
Lead Referee (Court Captain): The Court Captain serves as the Lead Referee. They manage the master 15-minute game clock, oversee court logistics, and hold final authority on all rule interpretations, foot faults, and scoring disputes. They also actively track the match score and manage the scoresheet.
Impartiality & Respect: Court Captains are NOT playing in the tournament. They are completely impartial volunteers generously giving their personal time to ensure a smooth and fair event. Please show full respect for their time, efforts, and decisions.
Second Referee: For each match, the Lead Referee will call upon a non-playing participant to serve as Second Referee. Their primary role is to assist with kitchen violations and line-call disputes.
Mandatory Referee Duty: All players who are sitting out a round or have just completed their match are required to serve as Second Referee when called upon by the Lead Referee. This keeps the tournament running on schedule.
Line Calls: Players make their own initial line calls. If players disagree, the decision defers to the referees. Each referee covers in-and-out calls on their designated side of the court. In the event of a disagreement between referees, the Lead Referee's verdict is final and binding.
Each team is responsible for calling the lines on their own side of the court only. If you cannot clearly tell whether a ball on your side was in or out, you must call it in β give your opponent the benefit of the doubt.
Score Reporting
After each match, scores are recorded by the Court Captain and entered into the system by tournament staff.
Scores require admin approval before they appear on the bracket.
If there is a scoring dispute, the Court Captain's scoresheet is the official record.
Admins may mark a match as No Show if a team does not appear.
Attendance & Conduct
Players must be 14 years of age or older.
Teams are responsible for showing up at the pre-arranged court and time. No admin supervision is required at the court.
A team that misses 2 scheduled matches without prior notice will be eliminated from the tournament.
Substitutions are allowed for injury or scheduling conflicts. Notify the organizers via WhatsApp before the match.
Paddles are available to borrow if needed β ask an organizer.
Partner Rule
A player may not select the same partner for two consecutive tournaments. This rule is effective starting from Tournament 2 β players who partnered in Tournament 1 may not partner again in Tournament 2.
Spirit of the League
As this is a Muslim community event, all participants are encouraged to dress modestly and respectfully. Athletic shorts are welcome as long as they are of a reasonable length β please avoid very short shorts. Also avoid clothing with inappropriate graphics or messaging.

This is a brotherhood event. Sportsmanship is mandatory.
Verbal abuse, aggressive behavior, or unsportsmanlike conduct will result in disqualification.
All masajids are welcome. Brotherhood over rivalry.
Water breaks during a game are discouraged, as they break momentum. If truly needed, keep it brief β reasonableness is at the Court Captain's discretion. Excessive or repeated breaks may result in loss of serve.
No unnecessary delays, stalling, or extended breaks during play β keep the game moving.
Total field: 70 players (35 teams). Division A β Skilled: 42 players (21 teams), 3 pools of 7. Division B β Developing: 28 players (14 teams), 2 pools of 7.
