Understand, appreciate and abide by the rules of the game and the honor system.
Respect your opponent and congratulate them in a courteous manner following each match, whether in victory or defeat. This is the proper sign of respect.
Typically players will fist bump as a means of shaking hands after a match without without spreading germs.
Be responsible for your actions and maintain self-control.
If your ball goes into an adjoining court, wait until they are done playing their before you go get the ball. You do not want to run onto their court in the middle of the point.
If you notice the cardboard barrier coming down, quickly react to stabilize it and return to an upright position.
Assist in setting up and putting away tables and barriers. It is just common courtesy for all players (unless physically handicapped) to help with setting up and tearing down the tables and barriers. If you are at the club late and it looks like play is winding down for the night, take down the net, fold up your table, and put away the barriers! If not sure where something should go, just ask!
Bring your own balls if you are training another player and require several large batches of balls (ie - something you'd see in multi-ball drills) (see below rule about using the ball caddy by your table in the "Don'ts")
Do not interrupt play on your way to your table. Be mindful of other matches going on around you. Do not walk behind a player during a point. Wait until they are between points and try to be quick about it.
Do not hit the surface of the table with your paddle, breaking the ball or hitting it out of the playing area, kicking the table or surrounds or disrespect the officials.
Do not sit or lean on tables.Â
We want to keep the tables in great shape for as long as possible.
Sitting on a table as means of lounging or resting also takes up a table that could be used by another waiting.
Do not roll the ball caddy over to your table
While it's convenient to have the balls right there, truth of the matter there are a finite amount of balls and it's simply inconsiderate of others in the balls available if you are monopolizing them keeping them to yourself. If you'd like to train multi-ball or require several balls, please bring your own (see above rule about training in the "Do's")
Cursing and foul language
Do not use obscene, foul or abusive language. Cursing is not allowed. Remember what might not be offensive to one person might be to another so keep it clean. Same goes for attire.
Excessively loud or distracting Choing
Many players, including professionals, will shout in celebration. "Cho" is the most common word of celebration. While celebration is good, excessive (and excessively loud) celebration is often considered rude and distracting. Some forms of choing is used as a ploy to get under the opponent's skin and aggravate rather than a means of pure celebration. It is this excessively loud or distracting choing that is prohibited from the LTTA. Please understand the difference and use it appropriately or within reason.
