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 LeagueApps, so you can plan ahead. If Honcho needs to make league wide schedule adjustments, updates will be reflected in LeagueApps.
• 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 form if you are sending a sub.

3️⃣ Forfeits (Last Resort)

Same Partner Doubles uses a Match Issues Form, which includes a forfeit option.

• A forfeit should only be submitted if:
  • your team cannot attend and
  • you were unable to secure a sub(s)
