League History
Box League 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
Jim Veitch
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.
- The charge for box league is $20 for every quarter. New
quarters begin in March, June,
September, and December.
- Disputes should be brought to the attention of
Jim Veitch.
His decision is final.
- You do not have to sign up again for the following month;
you
are automatically included.
Please note that if you are away for an entire month, please inform
Jim,
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 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 3 boxes will be eligible to play in 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. Berkeley teams
have won the league for the last three seasons! Matches are on
Wednesday evenings from 6-8pm every other week. Matches are either home
or away, so roughly once a month the team travels to a different club
in the East Bay. Each team has up to 6 players, of which the top 4
available players play in a match.
We are currently sponsoring two teams in the East Bay League,
but if there is enough demand, we can possibly enter 3 teams.
