What's a Tennis Ladder?
A tennis ladder is a league where players of similar skill levels match up to play on a seasonal basis.
Ladder players coordinate matches on their own time and at locations of their choosing, with no obligation to play each week.
Players move up the ladder by participating in matches, while players who don’t participate move down the ladder.
How to Get Started
1
Pick a Ladder
Whether you’re a seasoned tennis player or a newcomer to competitive tennis, we offer multiple skill levels. Select one that aligns with your current ability, and don’t worry, you can always change ladders later.
2
Propose a Match
Proposals are the primary way to start matches in Rival Tennis Ladder. Propose a match at a time and place you want to play, and anyone on your ladder can accept.
3
Accept a Proposal
Alternatively, you can accept proposals from other players. See a proposal matching your availability? Accept it, and meet the player for the match on that date.
4
Report the Match
Play the match, and report the result. Gain points, move up the ladder, and qualify for the Final Tournament at the end of the season!
