Development League

With participation and development the key focus in this league, the classification system is relaxed slightly.

• Non-disabled and unclassifiable players play as 4.5 classification players
• Players pending formal classification can play at their expected classification pending confirmation
• Teams are limited to 16 points, capped at 18.5 points after allowances
• If a junior male is on court, an allowance of 1.0 points is added to the team's overall points limit
• If a female player is on court, an allowance of 1.5 points is added to the team's overall points limit
• As per BWB rules, a trans athlete can play under the gender they identify as, but they will not receive an additional points allowance

The format of the matches in the UKWB Development League has been structured to ensure that we can fit 8 games in on one court per day, allowing us to fit 78 games in across 5 dates, and ensuring that all 13 teams play each other once.

• 4 x 8 minutes quarters
• 3 minutes break at half time
• 1 minute break between quarters
• 2 x 1 minute timeouts per team
• 15 minutes warm up
