League Format

TEAM PLAYING ORDER (TPO)
Each team needs to make a TPO, ranking players 1 to 8
At least 2 of the other 3 teams have to agree to it.
If at least two of the other teams disagree with the order, a discussion will be had and the 3 other teams will come to an agreement on what the order should be.
This order must be kept for the first 3 rounds. After round 3, teams will have the option to adjust their order and the other teams will have to agree again. This order must be kept for round 4-6 and the final.

FORMAT
The format will change slightly this season. The number 1&2 players will play two sets against the opponent’s 1&2 players and the 3&4 will play two sets against the opponent’s 3&4. (So could be 1 set all)
1&3 and 1&4, 2&4 and 2&3 will play one set against their opponents.
So players 1-4 will play 4 sets total.

The number 5&6 will play 3 sets against the other team’s 5&6 (even if one pair is up 2-0 a 3rd set will still be played) and their sets will count towards the teams total.

There will be a total of 11 sets.
So the set total could end in 6-5 or 7-4 etc
Each set won will be worth one ladder point.
The team that wins will get 6 extra ladder points.

Each fixture will run as follows:

Fixture #1
10am-12pm
Court 1: 1&3 vs 1&3 (1 set)
Court 2: 2&4 vs 2&4 (1 set)

Court 1: 1&2 vs 1&2 (2 sets)
Court 2: 3&4 vs 3&4 (2 sets)

Court 1: 1&4 vs 1&4 (1 set)
Court 2: 2&3 vs 2&3 (1 set)

12-1:30pm
Court 1: 5&6 vs 5&6 (3 sets)

Fixture #2
12-1:30pm
Court 2: 5&6 vs 5&6 (3 sets)

1:30pm-3:30pm
Court 1: 1&3 vs 1&3 (1 set)
Court 2: 2&4 vs 2&4 (1 set)

Court 1: 1&2 vs 1&2 (2 sets)
Court 2: 3&4 vs 3&4 (2 sets)

Court 1: 1&4 vs 1&4 (1 set)
Court 2: 2&3 vs 2&3 (1 set)

RULES
Players must play at least one set in two separate fixtures to be eligible for the final.

New players (outside of those drafted) can be brought into teams but their level cannot be higher than the number 3 on that team’s TPO and they have to be listed at number 4 or lower.
At least two other teams will have to agree that their level isn’t higher than that of the number 3.
New players must be added to the team’s TPO by Friday 5pm the week of the fixture. If not, the team will lose all the sets the new player plays.

A team can substitute a player into the team that is on their TPO in the middle of a fixture in the 1-4 matches but that player has to be number 4 or lower on the TPO.
No substitutions are allowed in the 5&6 match.
The player subbing in will directly replace the player subbing out, so the line up won’t shift.
For example, if the number 1 subs out, the player subbing in will take their spot at number 1 in the lineup.
Only one substitution is allowed per fixture and the substitution is only allowed after that round of sets is complete.
For example, in the 3&4 vs 3&4 match (2sets) a player can’t be subbed in after one set of that match.

If we have two teams on equal ladder points, the team that goes above will be decided by the following order:
1. Head to head between the teams.
2. ⁠ Sets won/lost percentage
3. ⁠Games won/lost percentage
4. ⁠Team that won the most recent fixture between those two teams.
