Ladder Match Rules

BTC Ladder Match Rules

1. All matches will consist of a 9 game pro set. First to win 9 games is the winner and a tiebreaker at 8-8. No ad scoring will be used.

2. The tiebreaker will be at a 9-point format, first to win 5 points. If the tiebreaker gets to 4-4, then the next point wins.

3. Good sportsmanship will be displayed at all times. Anyone not cooperating will be removed from the ladder. Sportsmanship includes accurate line calls, good temperament, and overall appropriate tennis etiquette.

4. Unfortunately, time is a factor in these matches. At 5 minutes before the hour players must be aware of the time. Do not start any new games after this point.

5. The winning player will be responsible for reporting scares to the front desk. A score sheet will be provided.

6. Many times players are finished before the allotted time. In this case, we strongly encourage players to continue playing or just hitting. Although the extra play wont count towards the ladder, it is good practice.

Good luck to all players.
