About the Ladder
St Chad’s Tennis Club runs a mixed (combined men’s and ladies’) singles ladder competition, open to all members at all ability levels. It provides an opportunity for competitive but fun play. For newer members, this is a great way to meet other players at the club.
The singles ladder works by ranking players in a table. You can challenge any player to a match and will be awarded points, using the ELO ranking system, according to your actual and expected results. This points system allows players of different abilities to play meaningful matches. Players are free to choose how often they want to play.
