Rules
1. SEASON
9 July to 8 October 2011 - Dates of ladder
27 August, 2011: Cut-off: players who haven't played a game by the cutoff date are bumped to the bottom of the ladder.1st October: Last day challenges can be issued.
15-16 October: Men's and ladies semis (can also take place in any of the following few days).
22-23 October: Men and Ladies finals.

2. CHALLENGES
2.1. A player can only challenge up to 4 places above their current position (you can challenge players directly via the ladder website). Winning challengers take the challenged position on the ladder and the losing player moves down one rung on the ladder (including defaults); all players formerly positioned between the two thus also move down one position. If a challenger loses, everyone remains where they are.
2.2. A player can only take one challenge at a time; so a player cannot challenge or be challenged until they have completed scheduled matches. Once they have completed scheduled matches, and not before, they can accept challenges.
Please try and respond to challenges as quickly as possible and let people know if you are on holiday.
2.3. A player must wait at least two weeks from their last match to challenge the same player again.
2.4. A challenged player must offer two reasonable times for the match, these times must fall within 14 days of the challenge being issued. Inability to play or cancelled matches are considered defaults. If someone does not respond to your challenge within 5 days of you contacting them the match is considered a default and you automatically move ahead of them. With this in mind please give notice when you are away for a week or more.
 
3. MATCHES
3.1. Challengers will supply new balls for each match.
3.2. Matches will consist of the best of three tie-break sets.

4. RESULTS
The winner of the match must enter the result on the ladder asap and within 72 hours maximum - see FAQ section on ladder website for  to how to do this.

5. REMOVAL AND ADDITION OF PLAYERS
If you no longer want to be on the ladder please email erinn.cate@gmail.com. New players added after the start date will join the bottom of ladder.

6. MODERATION
