You must be a minimum 4.0 level player for this event. The VVTC is committed to providing qualified participants in our competitive events a challenging level of play.

To fulfill this commitment, the VVTC gives Organizers of such events the final say in determining whether members who sign up possess a sufficient skill level and the Organizer for this event has determined that.

This event will revert to doubles 3.5 when doubles returns, but in the meantime let's play singles! I would like to aim at a fairly uniform level as this is singles. Therefore I would like participants to have a 4.0 rating, or to be a strong 3.5. Event released at 1 PM.

Welcome to tve VVTC Singles Ladder!!!

We encourage all VVTC members, male and female, to join us for our fourth Winter singles ladder! This is a great way to put your skills to the test and meet new tennis players in your area. Join in on the fun!!!

THINGS TO KNOW:

•Monthly rounds start the 1st of each month. Join anytime. If you join after the 1st of the month, you will be included in the following month's ladder and will receive guidelines/regulations and instructions on payment, etc, via email in the first few days of that month.

•The ladder is open to all levels, both male and female.

•The cost to participate in the ladder is $10 which covers you for one complete Season (Summer: May to end of October. Winter: November to end of April).

•Players arrange their own match times and locations, find their own courts and tennis balls to use and communicate as such with opponents in their box.

•By signing up for this ladder, you are agreeing to share your contact information with other ladder players.

•If you know of other non-member players who'd like to participate, simply have them sign up as a VVTC member - as membership is free and there is no commitment to participate in any other VVTC events.

HOW IT WORKS:

•Each month, players will be placed in a 'box' with three (or four) other players of a similar skill level. We will email all participants with player contact info at the beginning of each month.

•Players are responsible to arrange their own monthly matches with the other players in their box and agree on who will supply the balls.

•Best of three sets is recommended, however, if time is limited, players may agree on any other way to determine a winner (for example - best of two sets, no-ad scoring, tie breaker if needed, etc).

•If you are unable to play your matches in the month (due to injury or schedule), you must notify players in your box or respond to their match requests to let them know. This is so they can claim a default-win for that match.

•After your match, the winner must email vvtcsinglesladder@gmail.com notifying us of their win.

•Players earn 3 points for a win, 2 points for a win by default (ie opponent can't play their monthly match with you or doesn't show or has to leave before end of match, etc), 1 point for a loss, and 0 points for a loss by default.

•At the end of each month, the top player in each box will move up to the next box, and the bottom player will drop to the lower box. Ties in each box will be decided by a coin toss by the administrators. An email will be sent at the beginning of each month with updated ladder positioning and new player contact info.

•New players entering the ladder will be placed as best as possible, estimated by the administrators.

•Players who wish to become inactive for any given month must notify the ladder administrators at vvtcsinglesladder@gmail.com.

This format has proven to be a lot of fun and allows players of all skill levels to participate equally in the ladder. The only determinant of where you end up is your participation. So, have fun and play your best tennis!
