How The Box Leagues Work

Our leagues give our members some exciting, friendly competition. Players are placed in a box of players of a similar ability. Each league will have a total of either 5 or 6 players who will be required to play against all other competitors in their division, within a 12 week period.

At the end of the run the top 2 players will be promoted, bottom 2 will be demoted, and the other 2 players will remain in the same box. Final player positions in the box are determined by:

1. Number of wins
2. Number of sets won
3. Number of games won
4. Head-to-head

Scoring: 

Competitors should play one super-set to 9 games and must win by 2 clear games. If it gets to 9-9, a tiebreak to 7 points should be played. All results should be recorded on the board in the clubhouse. 

Other Information

• WhatsApp groups will be set up with all players in each group.
• Once a match has been completed, players must write up the result on the noticeboard. 
• Players are required to book their own courts, supply their own match balls and pay for lights if necessary.
• Any players that do not complete a minimum of 3 matches in the allocated time will be removed from the leagues.

If you would like to join the leagues, please sign-up on the adult tennis board in the clubhouse under where the leagues are displayed. Where possible, new joiners will be placed in an appropriate box according to their level.
