SELF-RUN CHALLENGE LADDER

Self-run Tennis Challenge Ladder

The goal is to get a lot of varied playing experience and, if you win, you move up the ladder.  Ladders are a great way to meet new players and improve match playing skills. Sign up on the board in the clubhouse by simply writing your name on the front of the magnetic name tag and your contact info on the back. If you played a previous year, look for your old name tag to use!

–You can “play up” in age and ability, but you cannot “play down”

– Decide on a playing format with your opponent (see suggested formats below)

• Adult and 18 and Under Intermediate/Advanced will play an 8-game set with a 10-point superbreaker at 7-7

• Adult and 18 and Under Beginner/Intermediate will play an 8-game set with a 7-point tiebreaker at 7-7

• 12 and Under Intermediate/Advanced plays an 8-game set with a 7-point tiebreaker at 7-7

• 12 and Under Beginner/Intermediate plays a 6-game set with a tie-breaking game played at 5-5 and uses green dot balls

–To extend a challenge, you can contact a player (get contact info from the back of the name tag), and set a time to play your match. Challenges should be accepted and played ASAP
