Yes, that is correct. If there is a line of people waiting (as in the OP's story), when you finish your one game to 11, all 4 players would vacate the court and go to the end of the line. If there are fewer than 4 people waiting, one or more people finishing may be able to stay on the court to fill out the foursome. But if they are a group, while it would be nice to allow others OF EQUAL ABILITY to mix in, they are under no obligation to do so. You make think that is rude, but it is like that not only here, but everywhere I have ever played in locations across multiple states.
