FSC Tennis Box League
The Box League is a year round competition, approximately six rounds per year. It is another avenue
for competition but as one competes in boxes, players will be in groups of similar ability. Entrants
do not have to play every round but ideally we will see an increase of play at the club especially in
the winter months.
Matches are best of 3 sets. The first 2 sets are regular sets with a tie break at 6-6. If the score is one
set all then a match tie break (1st to 10) shall be played. Matches will take about an hour. Players
must do their very best to play all opponents in their box.
At the end of the period results will be taken in and players will be promoted or relegated according
to the points they have.
Points are allocated as follows
Win in 2 sets
4 points
Win in 3 sets
3 points
Loose in 3 sets
2 points
Loose in 2 sets
1 point
