The rules

These are what the system actually does — it writes this page from its own settings, so it can't drift from the rules it enforces.

Challenging

  • Challenge anyone up to 3 places above you — or below you, if you fancy a game.
  • Paused players are stepped over — they don't use up one of your places.
  • One challenge out and one in at a time.
  • You get 1 wildcard a season — one challenge to anyone on the ladder, any distance.

Answering one

  • You have 48 hours to answer. No answer and the match is forfeited to whoever challenged you, as long as they sent you a reminder first (the Remind button on their match card) and it could reach you - notifications on, or a number you share. Without that, nobody moves.
  • You can say no without penalty if you already have 2 matches on, or while you're paused.
  • Once you've accepted, agree a date within 5 days and play within 14 days. Put the date on your match card - if there's none after 3 days, you both get a reminder.
  • If you both tried and couldn't find a court, it just closes. Nobody is penalised.

The match

  • Best of 3 sets. Third set is a 10-point tiebreak.
  • 15 minutes late is a forfeit.
  • If somebody has to stop, the other player wins and the score stands as it was.

What happens after

  • Either of you puts the score in. The ladder moves straight away.
  • Winner takes the loser's place. Everyone in between moves down one. Lose and you stay put.
  • The other player gets 4 days to flag anything wrong — after that it's confirmed.
  • Rematch after 7 days, or as soon as one of you has played somebody else.

Keeping your place

  • Play at least once a month. You'll get a nudge at 21 days.
  • 28 days without a match: down 2 places.
  • 56 days: down to the bottom.
  • 84 days: off the ladder — back on any time, from the bottom.
  • Nobody is moved without being warned first.

Injured or away

  • Tap Pause. Your place is held, and nobody can challenge you.
  • Up to 28 days at a time, 2 times a season.
  • Any match you had on is called off. Nobody is penalised, and they can challenge you again when you're back.

November — what the rules did

  • 4 matches played.
  • Nobody was moved by the rules — everyone played.

Your details

A ping when someone challenges you, answers you, or puts a score in against you. Nothing else — the ladder does not buzz you about other people's matches.

Off means an opponent arranges it with you in the group instead. Your number is never on the shared ladder page, and never visible to anyone you aren't playing.

Add your mobile. If you ever lose this page, your number is how you get straight back to it.

Want to come off the ladder? This takes you off and deletes your mobile number. Past results stay on the results list.
