These matches were played to a time limit of 1 1/4 hr. I cannot find the guidance on the recommended limit, but it certainly does seem to be too short. Only one game was completed, and players were rushing to get hoops near the end. At Bowdon we normally play 1 1/2 hr, and would consider longer for a doubles game. Please can guidance be reviewed.
