Ladies' Doubles League
AUTUMN/winter 2019/20

The 5th HTC Ladies Doubles League runs from Monday 30th September 2019 to Sunday 1st March 2020

Halfway point: Sunday 22nd December 2019

There will be 3 or 4 divisions of five, six or seven pairs so each pair has three matches to play before 22nd December. In addition to this, it is also possible to play more matches by challenging pairs in the division above (or below for Div 1) - see Instructions & Rules.

There is a prize for the winning pair in each division  - £10 voucher per person to spend at the Ink@84 bookshop in Highbury.

If you have any questions please email me using the link below:

League Coordinator, September 2019

                Instructions and Rules

  1. Each pair to play against all other pairs in their division. 
  2. Format to be best of 3 sets. If time is short and both pairs agree, a 10-point tiebreak can be played instead of a 3rd set.
  3. Two points per set. Only completed sets count so if a match is unfinished only the completed sets will score, or you will have to arrange another time to finish the match.
  4. Winners to email the results to ladiesdoublesleague@gmail.com and the scores will be entered on this page, below. Please email the scores even if the match is unfinished.
  5. An extra point will be awarded if three matches against pairs in your division are completed by 22nd December and another point will be awarded when you complete all the matches in your division.  Only completed matches count.
  6. It is possible to gain extra points by challenging pairs in the Division above to a match. Pairs in Division 1 can challenge pairs in Division 2. A point will be awarded to the challengers and the challenged if a match goes ahead. The points won for sets will be 2 points per set for the pair in the lower division, and 1 point per set for the pair in the higher division. If challenged, you do not have to accept.
  7. If a pair has to withdraw from the league because of injury, all points won in matches against that pair will be deducted. Points awarded for completing three  matches by 22 December will not be affected.
  8. If there is a tie for top place at the end, set points are worth more than points earned for playing matches.  If there is still a tie the prize will go to the pair who won the match between the pairs concerned.
  9. If a player is injured during play and unable to continue the match then she shall concede that match and the points from the uncompleted set/s go to the other pair.
