Boxes

In Highfield we use box matches to populate the Club Ladder and to keep it up to date. Not all members play box matches but it IS used to help the Club Captain to select league teams and also to seed the annual Club Championship. (Players who want to get a proper Club Championship seeding need to enter the boxes in good time.)

TO GET INTO BOXES YOU CAN CONTACT THE CLUB CAPTAIN AND YOU'LL BE PUT INTO THE BOXES FOR THE FOLLOWING MONTH.

Boxes are great ways to get competitive matches (if there are 5 in a box then that's 4 matches in a month) and also to get to know clubmates. They appear online and results are also entered on-line. Each month the Ladder gets redrawn based on the results and new boxes are created using promotion and relegation.

FROM FEBRUARY 2023 onwards the following redrawn Box Rules apply.


  1. Box positions are decided on points earned. One point will be earned for each game won, for example: A 3-0 win earns the winner 3 points and the loser no points. a 3-2 win will earn the winner 3 points and the loser 2 points.  One point bonus will be awarded to the player who plays all his or her matches. If there is a tie in points the head to head winner between the two players will be deemed to be higher.
  2. If a player fails to play at least 3 matches, he/she will be automatically withdrawn for the next month & drop down a level on their return. This is to ensure that boxes are as active as possible and is fair to active players within the box. If a player withdraws from a box after the box month has begun, the player will automatically drop a level when they return. If a player withdraws from the boxes prior to the box month beginning, they will hold their position on their return.
  3. If a fixture cannot be fulfilled as a result of a player being unavailable/uncontactable, the onus is on the player to inform Club Captain (email boxes@highfieldsquash.com). Walk Overs can be assigned as appropriate.
  4. New Club members and players returning to the ladder after lay-offs will be positioned at the discretion of the Club Captain.
  5. In the event of unforeseen situations arising, the final decision lies with the Club Captain.
