Notes
- Players to arrange their own matches.
- Both players should bring a tube of balls to the match.
- When a match is complete, the result should be added to the leagues on the Ebbisham web site.
- Players will be attributed points to the result as per the scoring table above and a bonus point will be awarded if a player completes all of their games.
- At the end of the stated box period, scores will be accumulated and players ranked. If players are level on points, then head-to-head record is considered, then number of games won /lost. The top 1-2 of each league will move up , while the bottom 1-2 of each league will move down.
- Depending on new joiners/leavers for the leagues for each box period, there may be some further shuffling in addition to promotion/relegation - but the organiser will endeavour to give players as many new opponents as possible.
- If existing players want to leave the league (either temporarily or permanently) then they must let
the league organiser know by the end of the box period.
- If leaving the league temporarily, the player's approximate league position will be noted and you'll be placed back into a similar league (or close below) when re-joining unless otherwise requested.
- If players do not play any matches in the last two rounds of matches, then they will be auto-removed from the leagues unless specified otherwise.
- New players can join the league at the beginning of a new box period. They will be placed in a league approximate to their ability to ensure everybody's enjoyment from the games!
- Club sessions take priority over box league matches, so do not organise matches for then unless there are free courts.
- If you have any concerns about the league you have been placed in then let the league organiser know.
Have fun and enjoy.
