Internal summer league

SBC’s internal league takes place this summer.

The internal league is an opportunity to play competitively against other Open or Mixed pairs at our club. 

We hope the games will give people experience of playing consistent games with a partner and will be enjoyable as well as competitive.

How does it work?

We have three box leagues for the internal league; two Open and one Mixed. There are 16 pairs in total.

Pairs will play against other pairs in their own box, booking a court and organising games outside of club night. We suggest booking a court for an hour and splitting the court hire cost and shuttles between the four players. You can find player’s contact details in the internal summer league WhatsApp group but if you’re having any issues organising games, please speak to us.

Pairs will play the best of three games up to 21. Games should be played in August and September.

Box leagues

The individual leagues are viewable here: 

The overall league status is viewable on the Standings tab. The Bracket tab shows upcoming games to be arranged. 

Submit your scores

A member of your pair will receive an email with sign up instructions for Challonge.com, enabling them to sign up as a member of your pair. You’ll then be able to enter your scores by clicking on the relevant match on the ‘bracket’ page. 

How are the winners decided?

There will be one winner per box league, which will be calculated by the total number of games won at the end of the summer.
