Enter the main entrance and scan your Seattle Parks & Rec card so they can count us (get yours free at the counter).

There are a lot of balls in the equipment room and you may be able to borrow a paddle from the counter.

Put your paddle at any table to indicate you are waiting; they must play a match and you can play the winner.
