Box League 2025
ELY TENNIS CLUB
Box league Spring 2025 This Spring we will be running our next Box League for Singles, Ladies Doubles, Men’s Doubles and Mixed Box Leagues for adults. The window for the matches to be played will be 10th March 2025 to 19th May 2025.
Please can you read the rules below before entering the Box League. The entry fee is £6 per category, per person.
THE CLOSING DATE FOR ENTRY IS FRIDAY 7TH MARCH 2025
Everyone in the Box will play each other during the match window. At the end of the match window the points will be added together and the top two players will move up to the next box and the bottom two players will move down (if there is only one box, players will move up and down the box).
If two results are tied, the head to head result will decide the result. The points awarded will be one of the following:
- - - - 0 point if a match is not played
1 point if you play a match and lose
2 points for winning your match
3 points for winning your match 4-0 4-0 or for a walkover
The sets are two short sets to 4 and you have to win by 2 clear games.
If it is 4 games all (i.e. 4-4) then the set will be decided by a tiebreak to 7.
If it is one set all the third set is decided by a championship tiebreak to 10.
If both sides agree, it is permitted to play two full sets with the third set being a championship tiebreak. If a match is scheduled, and there is a no show, then the player who turned out for the match will have the right to claim the maximum 3 points for the match if they do so wish.
This should be written clearly on the results sheets as a W/0 (walk over). If you have any questions or need any further information, please email boxleague@elytennisclub.co.uk.
