ladder_heading
There will be two ladders this year – one for singles and one for doubles. The intention of the ladder is to encourage friendly matches among club members and the results will not count for the Grading List. You need to put your name onto the relevant Ladder List and the initial ladder will be set up based on the grading list. You will then be able to challenge up to 3 places above you. Matches will be the best of 5 games (i.e. first to 3).
If the winner is the higher placed person (pair), there is no change to the ladder. If the winner is the lower placed person (pair), the lower placed person (pair) moves up to the higher placed person’s (pair’s) position and the higher placed person (pair) and all others between the higher and lower placed persons (pairs) move down ONE rung.
