Hermits is open for bookings.
See the Noticeboard and Bookings pages.

The 2020 Hermits Summer League is open to all Hermits members and to teams and individuals of other clubs. Teams of other clubs can play either at Hermits or at their own facilities. Individuals can be put together to form teams, again playing either at Hermits or at other facilities.

Because there are wide differences in playing abilities, we use the knockout cups format as detailed below.

Teams and individuals who would like to play in the Hermits 2020 Summer League, please contact Phil Craven (01274 780469).

Format

All-play-all 2 or 3 times, depending on the number of teams.

As there is a great disparity between playing abilites in the Summer League teams, to make it competitive for all, matches are played like the Theobold Cup:-

• Players are handicapped according to the Bradford League's handicaps.
• All play all as normal. No doubles match.
• Each individual match is 4 games up to 11 points, with no deuces and no requirement to be at least 2 points ahead. E.g. a game can finish 11-10.
• The team that finishes with the highest total number of points (not games or sets) wins the match.
• 2 points are awarded for a match win and 1 point for a draw. No points are scored for individual matches.

Substitutes can play above or below their own teams, as the handicaps balance it out.
