League Rules

How does it work?

🎾 Ladder Tennis League – How It Works
The league runs across both Saturday and Sunday, with all players competing in one combined ladder league.
If you win, you move up the ladder. If you lose, you move down.
Matches are played across both Saturday and Sunday, with 12 hours of court time available each Weekend.
You can challenge players up to 3 places above you on the ladder.
Playing & Availability
There is no requirement to play every week – you only play when you are available.
If you miss a week without playing, you will automatically move down one position on the ladder.
Challenges & Communication
Players are expected to reply to challenge messages within 3 days.
If you are unable to play, please let your opponent know as soon as possible.
If your opponent cannot play, you may challenge the player above them.
Booking Matches
Once a match is agreed, both players must book a time using the form shared via email and in the WhatsApp group.
Scoring & Results
After your match, you are responsible for uploading the result using your Playwaze login.
If you have issues uploading scores, contact [email protected].
If your opponent does not show up, you will receive a walkover win.
Additional Information
All matches take place at Somers Town Community Sports Centre.
Players can collect a new tube of balls (included in your registration fee) from TeamUCL Gym with proof of payment.
If weather conditions are unsuitable, matches will be cancelled and rearranged. Players will be notified via email and WhatsApp at least 1.5 hours in advance.
If you need to reschedule a fixture, contact [email protected] as soon as possible (this cannot always be guaranteed).
You are responsible for your own safety on court. A first aid kit is available at reception if needed.

Code of Conduct

All players must adhere to the Code of Conduct.

Match Rules

Matches are played as best of 3 sets.
A set is won by the first player to win 6 games, with a 2-game lead.
If the score reaches 6–6, a tie-break is played.
The tie-break is played to 7 points, and must be won by 2 clear points.
Players change ends after the first game, then every 2 games after that.
Players should call their own lines honestly.
If there is a dispute, the point should be replayed.

All players are required to delete all contact details at the end of the league, but please be aware that once distributed, Students' Union UCL cannot control how other players store or delete your contact details on their personal devices.
