THE  CHALLENGE  LADDER 

 *******

          Here you can find Challenge Ladder information on Rules and  Results of matches played. 

  All Challenge results should be recorded by the winner and reported to the Web Director at 832-6312.

They will then be arranged on the Bulletin Board at the Courts and on this site at the bottom of this page.

           These will then be used as the Official Rankings for Seeding in future Club Tournaments.

How do I get my name on the list and how do I challenge other players on the Challenge Ladder? 

The Challenge Ladder is an easy way of finding out where your playing ability rates in respect to other players in the Club.  

It is also an excellent way of getting out to play and meet other members! 

There are two skill level ladders:-

1.0 - 2.5   Men's and Ladies Ladder ( For Beginners )

                           3.0 - 7.0   Men's and Ladies Ladder ( For Intermediate to Advanced)

 Take a look at both Challenge Ladders

*       All new Members (if so requested) will have their names placed at the bottom of the 1.0 ladder.  From there, it is up to the player to challenge other players and hence move up the ladder.  An "Open Challenge" means you can challenge any player from any ladder during that time.  ( "Open Challenges" usually occur every two weeks. )

*       If your name is not on the Challenge Ladder, call 832-6312 to have it added. 

*      Then just call the person you would like to play from the players' list and set up a mutual date and time for the game.  ( Can only be done during an "Open Challenge" )

*       Notify "Tennis Central" (832-6312) of the final arranged match date and time and results of the match thereafter.

*       Make sure you read all the RULES and are familiar with the ones pertaining to a CHALLENGE MATCH which are listed below.

The results will be posted below on this website asap.
