I am running a tennis box league. Singles only. Basically players are placed in different levels of boxed. Each box contains 4-5 players. Each player plays against other players in the same box once per season. After the season, players are either promoted to higher level box, delegated to lower level box, or stay in the same box depending on their performance the season.
Players arrange their own matches (contacting one another, booking courts), and split the cost.
Everything seems quite straightforward, people are motivated to play. But its really a problem to get people to play ALL matches.
I made a very strict rule. Any player who doesn't finish all matches by the end of the season for his own reason will be delegated one level. But still many players couldn't finish due to injury, vacation, etc. And sometimes its really difficult to tell whose fault it is if two players can't play a match. And i really hate to be a police
What you guys do in your club? Maybe i should allow walkovers? Any suggestion is appreciated.
