How The Box League Works:

Each round of the box league shall usually lasts around 12-16 weeks to complete all matches (Varies depending on amount of entries). Upon entering the league, you will be placed within a box of players based on your playing standard. This ensures that you are playing opponents of a similar tennis standard so games are competitive and enjoyable. Once all entries are in, we shall message you the names and contact details of all your opponent’s so you can arrange your matches yourself.

Match Format:

Box league matches will be played as first to x9 Games. Whoever reaches 9 games first, wins.

We highly recommend booking a 2 hour courts slot to play your match. (If you can only do a 1 hour time slot you must have a maximum of 5-minute warm up and play sudden-death deuce points). In the unlikely event you reach the end of your court time slot and the match is still incomplete, then whoever has the most games at that point wins. If your time expires and the match is a tie, then the match will be a draw but booking a 2 hour slot should prevent this happening.

It is suggested both players bring balls to the match, and on the day you decide which balls to use. Balls are sold inside the Café if you need a new set.

Promotion / Relegation

Players will gain 3 points for a match win, 2 points for a match draw and 1 point for a match loss. In the result of a tie, then head-to-head results or the number of games won/lost ratio will be taken into account to determine final standings in the box. It is worth remembering that even losing a match will gain you +1 Point and can make a massive difference to standings by simply completing all your games.

Submitting results:

Upon completion of your match, you must message the league co-ordinator (Head Coach Aaron) your results. A simple text or email message with the match result will be perfect.

GOOD LUCK! and remember to enjoy your matches!
