Ladder Season 2013

Congrats to A champ - Teal Scott
and
to the B champ - Jarryd Audette

Ladder Gents,

Thanks for playing again or for joining in for the first time, it should be a great summer. We are going to start up Saturday, May 25th with the first 2 week playing session running through June 9th. There are a few changes to the format based on concerns from last year. Also, note the change in playoffs. Below I copied the information from the "Ladder Format" page. Remember to report your scores and email if you have any questions.

Have fun on the courts!

Andy


Format: 2013

- Matches can be played at anytime or place. Bring a can of balls.
- Best 2/3 sets with full third or 2/3 sets with a 10 pt match breaker are the two acceptable challenge match formats. It is better to decide about a full third or match breaker before the match begins, but not a rule.
- Each player must play a minimum of 1 match every two weeks.  If you don't play a match at the end of a two week period you will be moved down 4 spots unless it's a planned absence (travel, injury, etc...) or you have made an effort to challenge 3 different players and weren't able to make it happen in the two week period. If you don't play over a 4 week period you will automatically be moved to the bottom of the ladder no matter the circumstance.
- Match scores need to be reported to vttennisladder@gmail.com before you play your next match so the ladder can be adjusted accordingly.
- Everyone can challenge up to 3 places in front of themselves. If the #1 player isn't challenged over the course of a two week period and doesn't play they do not move out of #1.
- If you win a match you will move into your opponents spot, or maintain your position.  If you lose a match you will move down to your opponents position.
- The ladder ends Sunday, August 18th (matches can be played on the 18th). Playoffs will be split into A and B brackets. The top 8 players make the A playoff.Players number 9-16. This way we will have an A and B champ, and maximize the number of matches played.
-You are welcome to play anyone on the ladder anytime, matches won't count that are outside the rules.
