The rules of the ladder for the 2008-2009 season are simple and are as follows.

1. To begin with you are ordered in the standards you declared, in alphabetical order. You may challenge anyone on the ladder for your first 2 challenges. Afterwards, you can only challenge people up to 4 places above you.
3. If you win you take the place of your opponent in the ladder, and they move down one.
4. If you refuse a challenge without good reason you forfeit your position to the challenger.
5. The format of the matches can be agreed by you and your opponent.
6. You must declare your ladder result to the committee either at tennis or by email to tennis@qub.ac.uk or text the tennis phone to register it on the ladder.
7. Matches should be played on Monday nights or outside coaching hours on Wednesdays. Alternatively you can arrange with your opponent other suitable arrangements.
8. There will be prizes for the best male and female beginner, intermediate and advanced player at the end of the year.
That’s all so get challenging!
