How Box Leagues Work

  • Matches are played best of 3 with a match tie break to 10 at one set all (see above example)
  • If a match is not completed due to an issue with time/lights etc. it should be fully replayed at another date, uncompleted matches will not generate any score for either player. 
  • 4 points are awarded for a win and 1 point for playing (a loss).
  • If 2 players have the same total points, standings will be decided based first on head to head results and then sets win % and game win %.
  • Promotion and relegation will be three up and three down based on points and new members etc

We hope everyone enjoys these box leagues which are designed for members to have competitive fun at their level. Please do get stuck in and have fun.
