New Leagues
The current league will run through January / February. Good luck.
Details for the current leagues
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.
Games: Points: 3-0 10-2 3-1 9-4 3-2 8-6 2-0 7-3 2-1 7-5 2-2 7-7 1-0 6-4 1-1 6-6 3-X 10-0 - Walkover - Players will be moved up a division, sideways or down a division depending upon the points cumulated.
INCENTIVES
- All games played during the first month of the league session gain an extra 2 points.
PRIZES
- The player who scores the most points in a league session gets two free tokens, or two free balls or one of each and is proclaimed Player of the month.
- All players who play all their league games in a league session are put into a hat and the name drawn out gets two free tokens, or two free balls or one of each. If five or more complete their games then 2 names are drawn out of the hat, if ten or more complete their games then 3 names are drawn out of the hat.
- At the end of the year, the player with most points accumulated from the 6 league sessions of that year gets free membership for the next year and is proclaimed Player of the Year.
- At the end of the year, the player who played the most games gets a prize (either free membership, or free balls/tokens)
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.

- If the lower placed player wins then he/she puts takes the place of the higher placed player and then shuffles down the other players.

Knockout / Handicap
The 2009 Knockout and Handicap competitions are now under way.
Quater Final should be completed by Sunday 27th September.
KNOCKOUT
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.
