Proposal for New Format in the Lower Division Pool League

To enhance team spirit and create a more inclusive and enjoyable experience, I propose introducing doubles into the game format. This approach aims to give teams of all skill levels a better chance to succeed and build camaraderie among players.

Proposed Format

  1. Total Sets: 5 sets per match.
  2. Breakdown:
    • Sets 1–4: Each set comprises:
      • 2 singles games.
      • 1 doubles game.
    • Set 5: A set of 3 singles games.

Rationale

  • Inclusivity: The addition of doubles games provides opportunities for lesser-skilled players to contribute significantly to their team’s success.
  • Team Spirit: Doubles encourage collaboration, strategic thinking, and shared responsibility.
  • Proven Success: This format has been successfully implemented in the Darkside League, where it has proven to:
    • Level the playing field for teams of varying skill levels.
    • Foster stronger team dynamics and enjoyment of the game.

Certainly worked well in the original Lakers league on Sunday afternoon when the teams were all of a similar standard. Well worth a try to try and get away from the soul destroying 15-0 14-1 results.
