2026  Fall Ladder Leagues

Registration Details:  Registration will close 3 days prior to the event start date.  Both the Google form AND payment must be received to complete your registration. 

Event Lead:  Point of contact for this event is Maureen Novotne ([email protected] or [email protected]).

Description:  Each group of 4 players on a court plays 6 games, rotating partners in a double round robin format.   Scores are recorded and ranking list is established each week based on total points earned by each individual.  The following week players will be assigned courts based on their performance in the previous week.  Prizes will be awarded at the end of the season!
​​
Location:  Darden Towe Park - courts are reserved for this weekly event. 


Event Dates/Times:  
​
Men's:           8:30 am on Thursdays beginning October 1, 2026 thru November 5 with add'l weeks if necessary because of rain cancellations
Women's:     8:30 am on Fridays beginning October 2, 2026 thru November 6 with add'l weeks if necessary because of rain cancellations

Cost:  $40 per player covers play for the entire 6 weeks.  Both payment on the CEVA website and this Google form must be received before your registration is complete.

Level of Play:  This is for intermediate to advanced players.  All players are expected to reflect at a minimum intermediate-level strategy, consistency and court awareness. 

DUPR Entered:  No

Player Count:  Minimum player count of 16 and max of 24.  Sign up as an individual.


Scoring:  Games to 11, win by 2 with a 15 point cap (sudden death).

Layout:  6 games are played each week.  Double Round Robin.

Format:  The complete list of players is ranked from top to bottom and then broken into groups of 4.  Each four-some plays a double round robin with the other 3 players and records their scores after each game.

Point accumulation:  
For each game:
  • Win: 3 ladder points
  • Loss: 1 ladder point
  • Win by 5+: bonus 1 point
  • Shutout: bonus 1 point
For example - the maximum ladder points you could win each week if you won every game with a shutout would be 6 games x 3 points (18) plus 6 bonus points (win by 5+) plus 6 bonus points for the shutout - or  30 maximum points - but let's hope no one does that!!!

Missed weeks and rankings:  Players will confirm weekly via SignUpGenius rather than having to commit to every week.  If someone cancels or cannot make it:
  • Players will be moved upward to fill the empty court.
  • If there is an odd number, a substitute will be used.
