General Rules:
  1. Each player challenges up from their current ranking. Rankings are based on player self-ratings.
  2. The matches are set up at a mutually agreed upon time and location. The matches may be played anywhere as long as all players agree. The challenger provides the balls for the match.
  3. Challenges should be completed within a week of the initial challenge of an opponent. Uncompleted challenges will result in a forfeit of position. The winner of the match should report the score online but opponents should always check to verify scores.
  4. Players are not limited to a certain amount of challenges per week and can play the same opponent more than once.
  5. Doubles ladders are individually ranked so you may play with the same partner or have different tennis partners each time you play.

Weather Rule:  Matches may be postponed due to the weather. Players may postpone if it is mutually agreed upon or if the chill factor is below 40 degrees or it is rained out.
