Tennis Challenge Ladder Rules

• Playing Format: All matches will be a ten-game pro set, standard tie-breaker at 10-10. All aspects of fair play and conduct will follow USTA guidelines. Matches stopped for bad weather or similar reasons must be completed within one week or the leading player wins.
• Challenge Guidelines: Players may challenge upwards a maximum of three positions. Challengers must issue the challenge to higher players and matches must be accepted and scheduled within one week of the challenge, unless both players agree to an extension or a coach accepts a reasonable reason for a delay such as a challenged player being out of town or injured.
• Time and Place: Challenge matches should be completed outside of practice or match days, unless otherwise authorized by a coach. The time of matches must be convenient to both players. The venue must be hard court, and mutually agreed-upon by both players. If an agreement as to the venue cannot be reached, then the match should be played on the Langley Courts.
• Time Between Challenges: A player is not required to play more than one challenge match per week. Coaches will determine the priority of multiple challenges of any player, or multiple challenges by the same player.
• Reporting Scores: Winners of matches must report scores to a coach within 48 hours of the match.
• Post-Match Positions: If the higher position player wins the match, there is no change of position. If the challenger wins the match, he moves into the loser's position and everyone in between moves down one place.
