Monday Ladder
June 1st-August 31st
8-9:15 am and 9:15-10:30
Heartland Park
This ladder is similar to ones we have done the past few years at Heartland Park. Matches will be scheduled each week using all players who are “available” that week. You need to enter your unavailable times into the system. You will move up and down the ladder based on your results each week. A prize will be awarded to the top player. Please only register for this ladder if you feel you will be able to play most Mondays.
This year there will not be a penalty for missing weeks, however, we urge you not to sign up if you cannot commit to being there most weeks. Please let us know if you have to miss ladder due to an injury.
Tuesday Evening Ladder
June 2nd- Sept. 1, 5:30-7:00 pm Heartland Park
NEW THIS YEAR: This ladder will be a DUPR Ladder. You need to have a DUPR account and connect it to your GPN account to play. All games played in the Tuesday ladder will be submitted to DUPR each week.
This ladder is designed for working people and those who can't make Monday mornings.
This ladder will be run similar to the Monday morning ladder. Matches will be scheduled each week using all players who are “available” that week. You need to enter your unavailable times into the system. You will move up and down the ladder based on your results each week. A prize will be awarded to the top player. PLEASE only register for this ladder if you feel you will be able to play MOST weeks.
Doubles Challenge Ladder
Length of ladder: Two months.
Match times are set up by the teams any time of the week, (except during morning open play 8am-10:30am or ladder playtimes.)
This ladder will require you to have a partner. You and your partner will challenge and be challenged by other teams in the ladder. You will play all matches with the partner you chose. You will ascend and descend the ladder together based on the outcome of each match played. One person of the winning pair will enter the scores into the system. This is a fun way to play in more competitive matches beyond the Monday/Tuesday ladders. If you have someone you enjoy playing with, consider giving this ladder a try.
NEW THIS YEAR - We plan to divide this ladder by skill levels. If we get enough teams, there will be 3 separate ladders. We will need at least 15 teams to divide it into 3 ladders. The average of each team’s ratings will be used to make the divisions. You can simply register for this ladder with your partner and we will divide the teams prior to May 1. A prize will be awarded to the top team in each of these challenge ladders.
These ladders will each run for 2 months, with the top ladder starting in May and the others staggered through the summer. There will NOT be a double elimination playoff involving the top teams this year.
