Ladies' Doubles League                                             AUTUMN 2020

The 6th HTC Ladies Doubles League runs from Tuesday 1st September 2020 to Sunday 28th February 2021

Halfway point: Sunday 20th December 2020

There are four divisions and within each division each pair plays six matches (or four matches in Div 4). An extra point is awarded if three (two in Div 4) matches are played by the halfway point, and another extra point is awarded at the end if you complete all matches with pairs in your division. 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 2020

                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  championship tiebreak (first to 10, 2 points ahead) 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, and if possible 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 8th November, and another point will be awarded when you complete all the matches in your division  by 28th February.  Only completed matches count. (*Or two matches if you are in Division 4.)
  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 20th 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.
