Match Format
Box league matches will be played as best-of-three sets. The first 2 sets will be regular sets with a standard 7 point tie break played if the score reaches 6 games all.
If the score is one all after 2 sets have been played, players have an option to play a third set, OR a championship tie break (first to 10 points, 2 points clear) should both players agree.
Scoring
5 points – straight sets win
4 points – 3 sets win (including wins by Championship Tie Breaker as a third set decider)
2 points – Lost in 3 sets
1 point – – Lost in straight sets
When you enter your scores, our online scoring system will automatically calculate the points, eg. 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 will automatically award four points to the winner, and two points for the loser. Good luck!
