Behaviour:
Instances of unacceptable behaviour should be reported to your Club's Match & Pennant Co-ordinator who will bring the instance to the notice of the MPSRAI within 7 days. 
The MPSRAI does not tolerate unsportsmanlike conduct and will take the appropriate action to remove such behaviours from all competitions.
Penalties include:
Written warnings, loss of points, fines and suspensions.
Any aggressive behaviour such as verbal abuse, threats to hit a player or referee, or any physical abuse will not be tolerated and referee's should note the instance on the results fax sheet to alert the MPSRAI Match & Pennant to the incident.

Points Scoring System:
One (1) point will be allocated for each game won by each player, with an additional two (2) bonus points for a team win.  Therefore under this system if a team has 3 players and they all win 3 games to 2 games, the winning team will be allocated 11 points and the losing team 6 points.
In the event that there is a tie on games won, the bonus points will be awarded to the team that has the most points.
In the event of a tie on points, the bonus points will be shared.

Drawn Finals: 
In the event of a drawn final match, the last 2 players on court must play an additional game to decide the match. 
A time interval of not more than 10 minutes shall be permitted.

Turning (Rule 9):
If the striker has either followed the ball round, or allowed it to pass around him or her - in either case striking the ball to the right of the body after the ball had passed to the left (or vice-versa) - then the striker has "TURNED".
If the opponent is struck by the ball after the striker has turned, the rally is awarded to the opponent.
If the striker, while turning, stops play for fear of striking the opponent, then a let is played. This is the recommended course of action in situations where a player wants to turn but is unsure of the opponent’s position.
Remember the MPSRAI is a mixed competition and all matches should be played within the rules, and with respect for your fellow players.
