  3. Call the club at: (416) 769-5600

Cost: FREE!!!

The Ladder will be posted in the clubhouse no later than May 1st. Matches can be played between the posting day and up to and including August 31. At that time, winners will be identified as the highest ranking player of each group and prizes given out at the Year-End Party.

Rules:

  1. Each match is a pro set. First player to win eight games (no ad scoring) or the person leading after 45 minutes (max time).
  2. 12 point tie break to be played at 7-7.
  3. The match winner takes the higher Ladder rung spot.
  4. You may only challenge players that are within three spots above you on the Ladder.
  5. The person at the top of Men's 2 may challenge the bottom three people from Men's 1.
  6. If the person higher on the Ladder wins the match, all Ladder positions remain the same.
  7. If the person higher on the Ladder loses, they exchange spots on the Ladder with the winner.

When Can You Play A Ladder Match?

  • Court three (our singles court) can be booked up to seven days in advance for a Ladder match.
  • The Club will encourage players to participate by arranging matches. Ideally, each participant should play three times per month.

Hopefully, the Ladder will continue to be a success as Club members find new partners to play singles within a competitive setting.
