Playing Level: All levels
Match Format: Doubles
Gender: Female

3. This ladder will begin May 05, 2014 and end November 28, 2014.

5. Each time a team declines a challenge, they will drop 3 points.

6. Teams have 14 days to play an accepted challenge before it expires and the following occurs:
The challenged team automatically declines the challenge.

7. Teams have 5 wildcard challenges. Wildcards allows a team to play a team much higher ranked than the rules typically allow.

8. If in the last 30 days a team has not played a match, they will drop 3 points.

9. Teams may only play an opponent within 5 ranks above them, and 5 ranks below them.

10. You may only play an opponent if this player was not played in your last 3 matches.

11. You may only play an opponent on the ladder 3 time(s).

12. Forfeits will be treated like a lost match, and will affect rankings and points.

13. Any of the following match formats can be used:

8 Game Pro Set: An 8 game pro set is first to 8 games by a margin of two games. A 12-point tie-break is usually played when the score is 8-8.

Example scores: 8-6 or 9-8


14. The following system will be used to compute a player's position on the ladder.

Leap Frog Plus: This system is the based on the classic Leap Frog system, but also awards additional points based on games won and lost. This rewards players with points regardless of the outcome, and encourages more play. Here is how it works:

If you play a best of 3 set match, there are 39 addition points awarded in addition to leaping (or not leaping). This is because 39 is the maximum number of games that could be played in a 3 set match (7-6, 6-7, 7-6). The loser always gets 1 point for each game they win, and the winner gets the rest.

Lets say team A is ranked #1 and has 200 points, and team B is ranked #5 and has 150 points. Here are two sceniaros to help see what could happen:

1. If team A wins 6-1, 6-2, they would then have 236 points, and team B would have 153 points.
2. If team B wins 6-4, 6-3, they would then have 232 points, and team A would have 207 points.

15. All ladder members should maintain current contact information. If you change phone numbers or e-mail addresses, you must update your profile so other member can contact you and you will receive email notifications.
