MATCH DAY
Padel-London BOX League matches can be played on any Padel court within the M25 area. In some cases, the suggested courts would be located in private clubs. There should be an agreement between the teams about what to charge; ideally it would be a guest pass for non-members if applicable.

ALL matches are two sets to 6 games with a short tie-break (to 7 with a 2 point lead) at 6 games all. If the score reaches 1 set all a match tie-break (to 10 with a 2 point lead) must be played to determine the winner. A full third set must NOT be played.
We recommend using new balls or balls on a pressuriser.
