Deerfield Pickleball Ladder Rules
- The goal is to get good games against players at a similar level as you as well as a fun competition to see high you can get up the ladder. You should have some experience to enter.
- The league will runs for 5 weeks Thursdays August 22 until 9/19. Emails will be sent at least and hour ahead of time in case of rain outs and an additional week added.
- You put in one of 3 5-person groups randomly for week 1.
- You are partnered with each other person in your 5 person group once. You play against each other person twice. You sit out for one game per week. Gender is not considered in teams.
- 1-2 vs 3-4
- 2-4 vs 3-5
- 1-5 vs 2-3
- 1-3 vs 4-5
- 1-4 vs 2-5
- Each subsequent week, the groups and overall ladder are ordered by points and total points are recalculated each week so you can move up or down the ladder and may change groups. Groups are determined by ladder after week 1. Group 1 is for top 5 players, group 2 for middle players, and group 3 for bottom 5 players.
- Each week players receive 3 points per win and 1 bonus point if they go undefeated.
- Each game is to 11, win by 2.
- Substitutes: If a player knows in advance there is a week that they cannot attend, they may get a substitute. The absent player does *not* receive points the substitute earns that week. We will compile a Substitute Players list for competitors to use in the event they need to be gone.
- If a player does not show up or did not contact league officials about being absent AND get a substitute, they will be considered a “No Show”. Any player that “No Shows” twice will be removed from the league.
