Spring Return To Recess Camperdown [Thurs] Rules

Return to Recess is played as a ‘King of the Quadrangle’ format. Each week you will show up and be added to a different team. Each week your Event Host will take you through 1-3 games to be played over the course of a 40 min timeslot. Over the duration of the season, you will accumulate points for yourself, with one player winning the ‘King of the Quadrangle’ at the end of the season. Some games will award one point to every player on the winning team, and other games there will only be one winner, and one point. Please refer to below game rules.

FAIRPLAY SYSTEM: Each league night you will have an Event Host onsite, but these guys are not official referees. Urban Rec is a recreational league which practices a fair-play and fun-first policy, meaning you should be making your own calls on the game. The Event Host will be there to make the calls not made by individuals, keep time, and help guide the games within the game play rules. The Urban Rec Event Host has the final say on any issue that cannot be self-resolved.

SPORTSMANSHIP: All Urban Rec participants have read and agreed to the Urban Rec Code of Conduct. We also exercise a strict Disciplinary Policy. If you are seen to be rude in any way or not playing within the respect of the rules and Code of Conduct, you will be asked by the Urban Rec Staff to sub out of the game. If after returning to the game your attitude does not improve you will be asked to leave the venue, and an assessment will be made if you can play again. We do not tolerate idiots. Play fair
