WHAT IS A TENNIS LADDER? A tennis ladder is a way for local tennis enthusiasts to meet and play matches with other similarly skilled players at mutually convenient times.
MOVING UP THE LADDER: When a higher seed loses the winner will replace that individual, and the loser moves down one spot. Everyone in between the players will also move down one spot. If you challenge and lose, no one moves.
REGISTRATION PROCESS & INITIAL RANKINGS: Interested in signing-up for a ladder? Stop by the CB South P.O.A. Office and fill out a registration form, waiver, and pay the fee...and you’re in!! We will email rankings and you will email us the results of each match.
RANKINGS: After registering you will be ranked on the ladder(s) you register for. These rankings occur chronologically in order of registration; in other words, the earlier you sign-up, the higher your initial ranking will be.
CHALLENGING: You may challenge a player ranked one or two spots above you. If you win your match you take the place of the person you defeated. You may now issue your challenge and specify the place and time of the match. Email or call the player being challenged who may accept, decline or modify the challenge.
ABILITY LEVELS – These levels are merely guidelines and players may register for any ladder where they feel their ability level will make them competitive.
BEGINNER - Equivalent to a USTA ranking of 2.5
ADVANCED BEGINNER - Equivalent to a USTA ranking of 3.0
INTERMEDIATE - Equivalent to a USTA ranking of 3.5
ADVANCED - Equivalent to a USTA ranking of 4.0 and higher
