Ladder Night Rules: ( This is a weekly sign up event. Sign up is in the LPA Events drop down box)

a) This format works with 4 players to a court.

b) There is a window to sign up. For Monday, it is Tuesday thru Saturday. For Thursday, it is Friday through Tuesday.

c) An email will be sent out to show the number of players signed up at the mid point. For Monday, it will be Friday. For Thursday, it will be Sunday.

d) The full list of players (extras or subs if there are any) will be sent out on Sunday for Monday play and Tuesday for Thursday play. This is to give time to adjust and try to find players if necessary.

e) There is no first to sign up, last to sign up scenario for any part of the Ladder. Players are grouped by DUPR rating. In all aspects, ensuring competitive play will always be the overriding determination.

f) If there is an odd number, we will send out a message to see if we can get to an even number. If an even number is not available, the players selected will be those that ensure the most competitive play. 

g) If two or more players have the same rating and it means one or more would have to move down, the one or ones with the least number of games in DUPR will go down.

h) If after the sign up period is over a player has to withdraw, it affects all the players assigned to his or her court. It is in everyone's best interest on that court to pitch in and help to find a replacement. The LPA will send out an email to those we know of that have played in the ladder previously.

The game:

a) All games to 11 win by 2 or if necessary up to 15 win by 1.

b) The ladder is divided into 2 rounds.

c) The first round ends with either with 3 games completed or at 7:30.  At that time, if a game is still being played, regardless of the score, the game is over.

d) Players move up, down, or stay put on their court by the number of points attained.

e) If there is a tie in the number of points between players. 

   1) on courts 1 & 2, there will be a singles game with rally scoring to 5.

   2) on courts 3 thru 8, one more point will be played.

   3) If all players agree on a method they prefer to use to break a tie, that is fine. But it cannot involve any type of play or scoring that exceeds what is described in 1 & 2. 

   4) If 3 players are tied, by drawing, one will be eliminated. The 2 remaining will abide as stated in 1, 2, or 3.

f) In the second round, there is no time limit. The objective is to play 3 games.
