Rule 11. PROTESTS ... "A member may protest a match or the actions of another member relating to match play by submitting a written complaint or protest to the Vice-President within four (4) days from the date of the match."

Rule 9. RESCHEDULING OF MATCHES
The rule states "... the match MUST be played if the park/club determines that the courts are playable at 9:00 AM on the scheduled match day.". This means that it is not up to the captains. The club makes the determination.
Also, the rules states "The responsibility for court assignments and playing time rests with the four players on each court." Guests do not have to wait on the home team players to make initial contact when rescheduling a rainout.
