Description:

Play begins June 1st and will continue through to September 30.
The ladder board is posted on the wall in the Clubhouse.
Initial order of names on the ladder will be the result of a random drawing out of a hat that will take place at the Open House on May 31st.
New players after the draw are welcome to participate. New players' names will be placed at the bottom of the ladder.
Players can only challenge up to three rungs above them on the ladder.
Matches are two sets with no-ad scoring, and if required, a 7-point tiebreaker will be used to determine the set winner. The third set, if required, will be a 10-point tiebreaker, win by two.
10-minute warm-up unless the two players agree on a different amount of time.
Winning player posts the match result by moving the names up/down on the board.
If a player challenges two rungs above and wins, he/she moves up two rungs and the loser moves down one rung. (three rungs, winner moves up three runs and the loser moves down one rung, etc.)
Players have 10 days in which to arrange and complete a match. A grace period is allowed if there are multiple cancellations due to wet courts. Please try to complete arranged matches within a reasonable time. Injured players will be exempt from the 10-day match completion period, but will move up or down the ladder, based on matches completed when they are injured.
If a player doesn’t make themselves available to play within a 2 week period, they will be removed from the ladder.
The TeamReach group “FFTC Singles Ladder 2026” has been created for the Singles Ladder to make it easy for each member to communicate with one another to arrange matches and keep in touch with one another. The code to join the TeamReach group is: FFTCSingles26. All players participating in the ladder will be required to join the TeamReach group.
