This is a friendly competitive ladder flex league. It's a great way to meet new players, get fit, and improve your game. Adult players of all standards are welcome to join, as you'll be matched against opponents of a similar ability.

You determine when and where matches are played in consultation with your opponent. Matches can be played at any court within the league's designated area, with players sharing any associated court fees (courts are NOT reserved for the league matches, please reserve your own court time). Matches are self-umpired and should be conducted in the spirit of fair play.

How does this ladder league work?

• Signing Up: Scroll to the 'Seasons' section below, select a season, and click 'Join'.
• League Start Date: On the league start date, you'll receive an email and a notification with your first opponent(s).
• Skill-Based Rankings: Ladder rankings are generated based on playing level, ensuring you play against opponents of a similar standard.
• 2-Week Rounds: Every 2 weeks, you are automatically matched to 1 or 2 opponent(s) close to you in the ladder (depending on your preference).
• Flexibility: You and your opponent(s) decide when (within the 2-week round) and where to play your match, offering ultimate flexibility.
• Recording Results: Complete your assigned match(es) and record the result(s) in the app every two weeks.

Couldn't play your match within the 2-week round? No problem! While it won't affect the ladder rankings anymore, the match will remain on the app for another 2 weeks if you'd still like to play it.

Players compete at their own risk, and it is the player's responsibility to ensure any courts used are safe for play. By entering you agree to the competition rules & regulations.
