*LADDER LEAGUE OVERVIEW

You do not need a partner to join a ladder league. You will be placed on a court each week with three other people. Each week you will have two different players on your court.

The ladder format is designed so that players mostly play others of similar skill level. The player's weekly ranking in the league and, thus, which court they play on for any given week, is based on the player's winning percentage of the previous week. The winning percentage is defined as the ratio of points won to total points possible. Two players out of four on each court will move up or down the ladder (or one court) each week according to whether they have the highest or the lowest winning percentage. The other two players will stay on the same court.

Scoring

You will play three games to 21. You will play one game with each player on your court. Rally soring will be used to ensure pace of play. The maximum points for any player on one court for the week would be 63. You cannot exceed 21 points per game (not win by two).

Tie Breakers

If two players on the same court tie for the most points on a given day of play, the league coordinator will choose the player with the lower Player Order # (e.g., higher ranked order) in the Court Assignments for that day of play. That player will, if applicable, move to the next higher court. Otherwise, the other player may go down, if applicable. If both stay on the court that player with the lowest Player Order # gets the lower Player Order # again the next week relative to the other tied player. In the case of a tie between a player and a substitute player, the normal league player automatically wins the tie regardless of the Player Order #.

Subs

There will be a sub list. Please let your coordinator know with as much notice possible if you will need a sub. Whoever plays in your spot, will earn you the average of the court score. So, if the game is 21-11, you would have gotten 16 points. This will prevent you from moving up but still give you positive points if you coordinated a sub 48 hours or more in advance.

Game Play

There is no rule stating which team's starting server begins a new game (i.e. serves the first ball in the game). Players are not compelled to use another player's personal preference of who serves first. Each team may take one 60 second time-out during one game. You will switch sides at 11 points of each game. There is a maximum 5-minute break between games during which players should enter their game scores or go to the restroom.

Please bring your own paddle, outdoor balls and proper hydration.
