Ladder League Format & Rules

Before Play Begins

  • All players will be assigned a number based on their DUPR rating, with #1 being the highest-rated player and #16 the lowest.
  • Each player will receive a numbered wristband to wear throughout the event.
  • Players will begin on courts according to their ranking:
    • Court 1: Players 1–4
    • Court 2: Players 5–8
    • Court 3: Players 9–12
    • Court 4: Players 13–16

Team Formation

For each game, the highest-numbered and lowest-numbered players on each court will be partners.

Example: On Court 1, Player 1 partners with Player 4, competing against Players 2 and 3.

Game Format

  • Games are played to 11 points, win by 2.
  • A 15-minute timer will be used. If time expires before the game is finished, the current score will stand.
  • Important: DUPR only accepts results when at least one team has scored 6 points. If time expires before either team reaches 6 points, play will continue until one team reaches 6.

After each round, all game scores will be recorded for DUPR submission, and players will move according to the ladder rules.

Ladder Movement

After each game:

  • One player moves up one court.
  • One player moves down one court.
  • The other two players remain on their current court.

The player moving up will be the member of the winning team with the best win-loss record for the day.

The player moving down will be the member of the losing team with the lowest win-loss record for the day.

If players are tied in win-loss record, the wristband number (initial ranking) will be used as the tiebreaker.

Once players have moved to their new courts, new partnerships are formed using the same format: the highest and lowest wristband numbers on each court become teammates.

Additional Notes

  • Players cannot move above Court 1 or below the lowest court.
  • If play on the top or bottom court becomes repetitive, the organizer may introduce a mix-up to keep games fresh and competitive.
  • The primary objective is competitive, enjoyable play while generating accurate DUPR results.
