Box Leagues are administered using Club Locker software provided by US Squash. In order to participate you must be registered with clublocker.com. You DO NOT need to purchase a membership but you must be registered. Previous ladder or tournament participants are already registered.
Our Box Leagues encourage friendly competition among a variety of players. Players will schedule their own matches against all the opponents in their ‘box’ and post their own results. Participants in each box change at the end of each stage based upon wins and losses according to our scoring rules. During each stage, current standings are recorded. At the end of each play stage, the player(s) with the highest total scores in each box (except the highest box) will ascend to the next highest box. The player(s) with the lowest scores in each box (except the lowest box) will drop to the next lowest box. The middle player(s) will remain in the same box.
Depending on the number of players, for any subsequent stages, the boxes will have a new mix of players. New players may be added and existing players removed from the boxes between stages.
The commitment from players is to make every effort to play your matches assigned for each league stage term (6 to 8 weeks).
Prizes will be award to the winner(s) of each box per stage. There will be an entry fee per player per each box league stage.
