1️⃣ Schedule Release (Before the Season Starts)

• You’ll receive an email from Honcho when schedules are ready.
• The regular season schedule (Weeks 1–6) is released all at once before the season begins.
• You’ll see exact match dates and start times in your league software, so you can plan ahead. If Honcho needs to make league wide schedule adjustments (due to weather or venue complications), updates will be reflected in the same place - so always check the morning of!
• You may have a bye week (a week off) depending on league size. You might also have a doubleheader (2 matches in one night) to make up for it.
  • Bye weeks help us balance the schedule and ensure all teams get 6 matches total.
  • Even if you don’t play every single week, your team will still have 6 matches over the season.

📅 Because matches are scheduled in advance, we expect teams to make every effort to attend every match or arrange subs when needed.

2️⃣ Can’t Attend? Send a Sub (or Sub Team)

• If your team can’t attend a match, you’re expected to arrange a sub (or a full sub team).
• Subs do not need to be Honcho players.
• You may ask other Honcho players if they’d like to play in your place that week for extra court time.

🚫 Do not submit a forfeit if you are sending subs.

3️⃣ Forfeits (Last Resort)

Same Partner Doubles has a ‘My Team Forfeits’ button in your weekly league night reminder email.
