Rules
- On average, five players are assigned to each box. However,
on occasion, there may be
as few as four players or as many as six players.
- It is each player's responsibility to arrange matches by
contacting the other players within
his/her box.
- New participants in the league will be added to a box of
their approximate rating at the
discretion of the league organizers. If your playing ability doesn't
match the box in which you have
been placed, please contact
Toby Reiner
and you will
be moved to the appropriate box the following month.
- We will adjust any major inaccuracies regarding rating
within a box level.
- Generally, at the end of the month, two players will go up
to the next box, two players will
go down, and one player will stay in the same box. Please note that
the addition of new
participants may, at times, alter these results.
- Points scoring:
3/0 = 6 points to the winner, 1 point to the loser
3/1 = 5 points to the winner, 2 points to the loser
3/2 = 4 points to the winner, 3 points to the loser
No show or walk over (injuries) = 5 points to the winner, 0 points to
the loser
- Please enter results into the box accordingly (i.e., you
win 3/0 enter "6" in your box and
"1" in your opponent's box). Results are posted on the monthly box
league sheets on the
bulletin board on Court 1.

Please note that if you are away for an entire month, please inform

so that he may remove your name for that month and re-enter you
the following month.
- Unless instructed, your name will be removed from the
league if you have not played any
matches for an entire month. However, you may re-enter your name for
any subsequent month.
The box league is intended to help you meet different playing
partners and to generate a level of
competition within the Club. Good luck!
Prizes
There is no official prize for winning your box, except
the wonderful feeling you get inside. However, the top players in the
top 4 boxes are encouraged to play on the Berkeley teams
participating in the East Bay Squash League. The East Bay Squash league
is comprised of club teams from all over the East Bay, playing roughly
every other Wednesday evening from September to April.

a May 2006 exhibition and plays Cal box league
members Ashley Kayler and John Kunze.
Kunze surprises Power with crafty deception
learned from years of box league experience.
