Spring Ladder League

**Game Play**

League will use a ladder format.

Groups of 4 players will be seeded onto a court according to DUPR or self-rating.

Players will play a series of 3 round robin matches each week.

Matches are best 2 out of 3 games. Play to 21 win by 2 using rally scoring.

Court rankings will be determined by cumulative points scored. Top 2 players will move up a court and the bottom 2 players will move down a court in the following week.

Repeat each week. Standings at the end of the season will be determined by total points scored.

**Game Management**

Game play will be managed by the Swish Sports app. All players will need to have a profile set up on the app to enroll and log scores.

A free DUPR account connected to Swish is also required. Match scores will be uploaded to DUPR each week. DUPR will not be used for standings, but as a way to help seed or create play divisions in future league games.

**Substitutions / No Shows**

Showing up to play each week is vital to everyone’s success. In you are not able to attend a match, notify the league director as soon as possible so that a substitute player can be arranged. The substitute player will play in your absence.

A maximum of 2 absences are allowed per 6 week session. A 3rd absence risks removal from ladder league. Absences with no prior notification risks removal from ladder league.

**Injury**

If you become injured and are unable to continue playing for the remainder of the league session, the league director will work to find a permanent substitute.
