How does it work?

🎾 Ladder Tennis League – How It Works
The league is split into two divisions: Saturday and Sunday.
Each division has 16 players in a ladder format.
If you win, you move up the ladder. If you lose, you move down.
Each weekend has 8 hours of booked court time on both Saturday and Sunday.
You can challenge players up to 2 places above you on the ladder.

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 the fixture, you are allowed to challenge the player above them.
If you do not play any matches, you will automatically drop one position on the ladder.

Once you’ve agreed a match, both players must book a time using the form shared in the emailed to students and housed in the WhatsApp group.
There are up to 4 match slots available on each day.
The more matches you play, the more points you can earn, so get involved as much as possible!
