Ladder Guidelines
Co-Ed Ladder
Co-ed ladder is sorted first by stated skill rating. The top scorer on each court moves up a court, and the bottom scorer moves down a court. As new players come into the ladder, they are placed according to their stated skill level. The format is 9 games (3 sets of 3 games each) for each court. (Sometimes the lower court is a 5-person, 10 game/2 byes). Plan on playing for 9 games, or 2 hours, whichever comes first.
If you miss 1 week, you drop one slot (not one court). If you miss 4 in a row, you drop 2 courts.
If you need to cancel your play for the week, you must text or email the organizer:
