Portland Squash League
The Portland Squash League will run over 2 calendar months, starting on the 4th. During this time, the players in each league will contact each other and arrange to play their matches. The Portland Squash league is self-driven by its participants. It will be successful if all players make the effort to contact each other, turn up and complete the matches.
Points System
Points are awarded in the following fashion: 3/0 – 3/1 – 3/2 – Walkover = 2/0
All players receive a bonus point for every game played.
- Your total score will be added up and then put in a table to find your final ranking in the league.
- Scores MUST be entered onto the notice board immediately after your match.
- Enter your final match score in games (ie. 3/0, 3/2 etc) into the relevant boxes on the sheets on the Notice Board. The software and the team will do the rest.
- The leagues are taken down to add up the scores at 8.00PM on the last day of the league. Any scores not submitted by this time will not be counted. Any queries about scores entered must also come in before 8pm on the last day.

Contact details can be found at the Portland Centre reception and will also be sent to all players via email.
If you have made good attempts at making contact with someone in your league and had no response by the 20th of the second month – please report this to the league organiser.
Scoring each match
Matches will be best of 5 games:
- Games are first to 11 points, rally point scoring (points scored on any serve) If it is 10 – 10, you continue until a player is 2 points clear.
- If both players agree, AND ONLY IF BOTH AGREE, then you can revert to another scoring system.
Promotion and Relegation
- The player scoring the most amount of points will be promoted as Champion, or deemed Champion of the Squash League if in Div 1;
- The player scoring the next most amount of points will be promoted as runner up;
- The players scoring the 2 lowest amount of points will be relegated;
- In the event of two players being tied on points, a head-to-head will take precedent.
Injury / Pulling out the league
