Men’s Box Leagues
Men’s Box Leagues January 2022 Deadline for completing matches is 19th March
Matches comprise two tiebreak sets (7-point tiebreak) followed by a 10-point tiebreak if sets are drawn. Players get a point for each game won and an extra 2 points for winning a deciding 10-point tiebreak.
The position in the table will be determined in this order: firstly on matches won, secondly on full sets won. If these are both equal it will be decided on the difference between games won and lost and lastly if all else is equal on games won. This does away with the anomaly of scoring the same for winning 6-0, 6-0 or losing 6-7, 6-7.
Any matches not played by the deadline will be awarded either as a walkover 6-3, 6-3 or as a draw 3-6, 6-3. This decision will be made by the organisers. Reasons for awarding a walkover would be injury or continued unavailability. A draw would be decided if neither side was responsible for the match being played.
Please remember to email your scores after each match to Hugh Gilmour.
