New Rules for Ladies Summer league 2018

31/1/2018

Good news for all us ladies who struggle a bit to do 6 sets in the summer league, late teas and arriving home from away games at midnight, our Ladies Captain, Lou Nanda has been campaigning over the last few seasons with the league to change the format, and this will change for this summer, after the proposal went to a vote at the AGM.  After they consulted with other leagues and clubs the proposal that was passed was as follows: -
 The change is applicable to the ladies only so far.  The men's is staying in the 18 set format with the option to agree the short 12 set format and when they play 12 sets the below system of all pairs playing each other will prevail.  For ladies 12 sets will be the default play and 18 sets may be played if both captains agree. (very rare last year only 23% of matches played more or less than the 12 sets) 

The format of the 12-set game has changed and it means that every couple will play each couple of the opposition.
Round 1 (1 set)
  • Home pair 1 plays away pair 3
  • Home pair 2 plays away pair 1
  • Home pair 3 plays away pair 2
Round 2 (1 set) 
  • Home pair 1 plays away pair 2
  • Home pair 2 plays away pair 3
  • Home pair 3 plays away pair 1
Round 3 (2 sets)
  • Home pair 1 plays away pair 1
  • Home pair 2 plays away pair 2
  • Home pair 3 plays away pair 3
  • ​
There were a couple of other changes to note 
  • Where clubs don't have floodlights they must try and not have home games in April or August and where they do, they must tell the opposition. 
  • Matches can start at 6.30 or 7pm generally agreed at the fixtures meeting.  However, they can be changed by agreement between the team managers before the game, and either way the 12 set format will prevail for the ladies
  • Subject to weather/ poor light etc a minimum of 10 sets is needed for a score to register. (the same as currently) 
The full details of the new format will be shown in the handbook, and hopefully everyone will really enjoy the new style of matches. Any feedback you have about the new system should be directed to Lou Nanda, our Ladies Captain.
