Leagues

Southern Counties Leagues

There are two league structures within the SCPA; both involve participating clubs playing an equal number of home and away matches in each season. Games are usually played in the evenings from March to October.

The six-a-side league is organised into four divisions. Each match consists of one round of 2 triples games followed by a round of 3 doubles games, making a total of 5 games per match.

The nine-a-side league is organised into two divisions. Each match consists of three rounds of 3 triples games, making a total of 9 games per match.

Note: In one season, a player can only play for one club in each league.
Scoresheets and rules are available on SCPA Website here:  http://www.southerncountiespetanque.org.uk/leagues.html
