The format for the internal leagues are as follows:-
- A match is played using the SRA rules of the best of 5 games and the first to 9 points with points being won on the player's serve. Should a game reach 8-8 then the non serving player decides on "first to 9" or "first to 10".
- It is not always possible to complete a match in a 40 minute session, so the players must agree whether to keep the score after 40 minutes or carry on or replay the match.
- When a game has deemed to have concluded, the score is entered onto the scoring grid on the wall in the squash building.
- Points are allocated depending upon the score of the game thus; Players only need enter the Game score on the league chart.

The Ladder
To participate in the ladder simply fill in a blank card with the required details and put it in the next available slot. As an initial challenge you can challenge anybody above your position. If you win, you take your opponents position in the Ladder and your opponent drops one slot, move everybody below down one slot until reaching your original vacant slot. If you lose, you stay were you are. Either way, fill in both cards with names, dates and scores. Any subsequent challenges will be a maximum of 4 slots above your current position.
To add a bit more interest into the ladder and to make it a bit harder for some The Ladder now uses handicaps.
During each league period everybody that plays ladder games will be entered into a draw for a free token or ball, so it is important to fill in the cards.

The Knockout competition will be the usual SRA rules, as in the best of 5 games and the first to 9 or 10 depending if 8-8 has been has been reached. The players need to agree before the game starts what to do if the lights go out before the game concludes. The losers of the first round and the preliminary round (if we need one) will go forward to the Knockout plate competition.
HANDICAP
Initially a handicap will be issued by the Competition Committee. You have the right to appeal if you think it is unjust. Games to be agreed mutually between competitors. Best of 3 games. American scoring. i.e.. First to 15 irrespective of serve, no 2 clear points. First Round losers will be automatically entered into the Handicap Plate Competition. Completion dates are to be strictly adhered to. Competition Committee decision is final. When playing a handicap game, the players need to consider each other's handicap and from what point to start the scoring. See the following examples;
(i) If one player is "minus" and the other is "plus" then the game starts from the allocated handicaps.
(ii) if both players are "plus" or both are "minus" then they can start scoring from the allocated handicaps or the handicaps can be altered so that one player starts from zero whilst maintaining the difference.Deadline for completion of the second round is: Sunday 29th June.
Please stick to the end of round deadlines. For games not completed by the designated date, both names will be put into a hat and the name pulled out will go forward to the next round.
