Tennis Ladder Rules

We'll keep the rules really simple to start with. If you want to suggest changes to the rules then please email Peter Ebdon using the link on the members directory.

  • Players must be payed-up CATC members to join the ladder.
  • Players must register on the website in order to join the ladder.
  • On joining, players will have a ranking of 999.
  • A player can challenge anyone within the ladder, but a player need only accept a challenge from a player within 5 places of their own ranking.
  • If a challenger beats a player with a higher ranking, they take their ranking and everyone else from the defeated player down moves down a place.
  • Standard rules of tennis apply. The number of games played can be agreed before the match.
  • The challenger has the responisbility for providing the balls for the game which should be in a suitable condition.
  • The winner of the toss can choose to serve OR choose ends.
  • The winner has the responsibility for entering the match result on the website which MUST be entered on the same day as the match. Rankings will then be updated automatically.
  • Players have the right to refuse a challenge if they have played in the last two weeks. If you feel someone has refused without a valid reason then please let someone on the committee know.
  • At the end of September, the player at the top of the ladder will receive a trophy which they will hold until the following year's result.
  • If there are any problems, such as incorrectly entered results, please contact Peter Ebdon.
  • Good luck to everyone!
