How It Works
Ladder Divisions: Singles and Mini/Skinny Singles,
To join a ladder, players must complete the sign-up sheet and identify a teammate if playing in doubles. This is a club members-only ladder league. There is no cost to join/play. Players must be willing to have their contact information shared via a player directory with other members on the ladder. Players are only allowed to appear on each ladder once; having multiple partners within the same ladder is not allowed.
Ladder Positions
New teams/players will start at the bottom of the ladder; the Ladder Committee can approve exceptions to this rule. Movement up or down the ladder will be based on reported game results or forfeiture rules.
In doubles, players are allowed to change partners, but newly formed teams will be moved to the bottom of the ladder.
