This page explains Honcho's policy on match start times and what your options are if your scheduled time doesn’t work.
📆 Scheduling Basics
- Match start times are assigned using the LeagueApps random scheduler.
- While some teams may receive similar times more often, the system is designed to be fair across the season. Depending on the league / season, you may end up facing the same team twice or not at all.
- Honcho does not accommodate pre-season, regular season, and playoff-requested start times.
🎾 Can’t Make Your Match?
Life happens—we totally get it! While we don’t offer reschedules (our court times are locked in ahead of time), you’ve still got a couple of solid options:
- Bring a sub: Find someone around your skill level to step in for one or both teammates.
- Show up early: Arrive 15–20 minutes before your match and see if someone finishing up might be down to sub!
- Can’t swing either? If you truly can’t make it and can’t find a sub, just let us know by submitting a forfeit form.
🙋♂️ Need a Sub?
If you can't make your match, you can find a substitute to play in your place. Be sure they match your league’s skill level.
📎 Check out the Substitution Guide for full details on using a sub during the regular season.
