BOX LEAGUE RULES - Largs
1. All communications about the League will be made through our WhatsApp Community - Box Leagues group.
2. There are 4 players in each box. Players are listed 1,2,3 and 4 based on results of immediately previous competition. The boxes form a numbered league with Box 1 being top.
3. Each player pairs up in turn with each other player in their box and plays doubles matches; 3 matches for each box competition round. Each pairing plays one game to 15 points, normal pickleball scoring rules and no setting ( i.e first to 15 is the winner)
4. The Box League administrator will confirm promotions and demotions for the next round of competition, and the player composition of each box, based on the results of the previous round. These will be communicated through the WhatsApp Community - Box League.
5. It is the responsibility of the person numbered 3 in each box to liaise with other box members and book a court for that box’s competition. The person listed 3rd may find it easiest to create a private WhatsApp group for their box to organise the fixture.
6. It is the responsibility of the person numbered 2 in each box to record the results. The scorer should then send the results, picture or written to the WhatsApp Community - Box League group.
