All Levels Mixed/Women's/Men's Doubles Ladder November (Nov 1st 2022 - Apr 30th 2023)
The CCTC doubles ladder welcomes players of any gender or skill level. Although it is competitive in the sense that winning teams move up and losing teams move down, the primary goal is to have fun and everyone is expected to behave in a sporting way. It is great way to get some exercise, compete against different game styles, and meet new players!
The ladder is open to any CCTC members. Membership is free and there is no commitment to participate in any other CCTC events. By registering, you agree to share your contact information with other players in the ladder, but it will not be posted publicly.
The ladder will start on Nov 1st, 2022, and there will be a new draw each month through Apr 2023. The April 30th, 2023 date on the listing is the last date for the cycle.
Before you register: Please make sure you have a partner. If you do not know who is interested, please email cctcdoublesladder@gmail.com with your skill level and how competitive/fun you would like to play and we will match you with someone.
How it works:
Both you and a partner should register and pay the $10 fee through the website, then email cctcdoublesladder@gmail.com to let us know who you are playing with. The fee is once per cycle (Nov - Apr) and goes to the costs of running the website.
At the beginning of each month (Nov - Apr) we will send out a spreadsheet. Your team will be placed in a box with 2 or 3 other teams of a similar skill level. Use the contact information provided to schedule matches when and where it is convenient for all players involved. After the match, the winning team reports the score to cctcdoublesladder@gmail.com.
At the beginning of the next month, new groups will be sent out where winning teams will move up to face stronger competition and losing teams will move down.
New teams can register at any time. You will be added to the draw for the next month.
You are able to drop out (due to injury, vacation, etc) at any time by emailing cctcdoublesladder@gmail.com. You can rejoin later in the cycle without having to register and pay again. Likewise, please notify us if you have to change partners.
If you are unable to play your matches, please let the other teams in your box know as soon as possible. Players sign up expecting to play all of their matches and the ladder only works if teams make their best effort to communicate and compete.
Arrange with your opponents who will provide the balls. Competitive teams will expect each team to bring an unopened can of balls, one to be used during the match, and one to be taken by the winners.
Due to limited court time in winter, we would recommend a format of best two of out of three sets, but with a match tiebreak (first to 10 points, must win by 2) instead of a 3rd set. You are welcome to modify this format in any way provided both teams agree.
This ladder was a lot of fun when it ran before the pandemic, so hopefully everyone has a good time! If you have any other questions, please email cctcdoublesladder@gmail.com.
Winter Singles Ladder (November 1, 2022 to April 31, 2023): March Rounds
The CCTC Winter Singles Ladder begins on November 1 and runs until April 31. Members can join the ladder at any time; they will be added to the ladder in the following month.
We encourage all CCTC members to join us! This is a great way to put your skills to the test and meet new tennis players in the community. Join in on the fun!
THINGS TO KNOW:
Monthly rounds start the 1st of each month. Join anytime; you will be included in the following month's ladder, and you will receive instructions by e-mail in the first few days of that month.
The ladder is open to all skill levels and genders.
The cost is $10 for one complete session (Summer, May to October, or Winter, November to April).
Players arrange their own match times, find their own courts, and supply their own tennis balls. (Because of limitations of the software that we use to run our web site, web pages and e-mail messages that you receive will mention specific dates and days of the week; ignore them. Each month, you will arrange a match with each of the other members of your box, at a date and time that you agree on.)
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 would like to participate, simply have them sign up as a CCTC member - membership is free and there is no commitment to participate in any other CCTC events.
HOW IT WORKS:
Each month, players will be placed in a 'box' of four (or possibly three, depending on the number of participants) players of similar skill level. We will e-mail all participants with player contact info at the beginning of each month.
Players arrange their matches with the other players in their box and agree on who will supply the balls (the usual arrangement is for both players to bring a new can of balls; one is used for the match, and the winner keeps the unused 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).
After each match, the winner sends an e-mail to 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 moves up to the next higher box, and the bottom player drops to the next lower box. Ties in each box will be decided by a coin toss by the administrators. An e-mail 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.
If you are unable to play your matches in the month (due to injury, schedule conflicts, etc.), you must notify players in your box or respond to their match requests to let them know. Players sign up expecting to play all of their matches, so please make every effort to be available. If you won't be able to play all of your matches in the next month, consider dropping out for the month.
If you want to become inactive for any given month, just notify the ladder administrators at vvtcsinglesladder@gmail.com, and notify them again when you want to re-join (the $10 fee is paid only once per session; you don't pay again to re-join).
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!
If you have any questions, please e-mail vvtcsinglesladder@gmail.com.
