We’re excited to launch a new weekly Doubles Ladder format at Cromarty Tennis Club!

It is designed to be:
✔ fun and social
✔ competitive but welcoming
✔ fair for all skill levels
✔ easy to join each week

How it works:

• Players are placed into groups (“Pods”) of 4 players
• Within each pod, everyone partners with each other once:

• Each match is played as a short format set (9 games)
• Players earn points based on total games won
• At the end of the session:

• Top player moves UP a pod
• Bottom player moves DOWN a pod
• Middle players stay

This format helps:
✅ reduce unfair partner advantage
✅ create balanced matches
✅ encourage player development
✅ keep the ladder dynamic and fun

The ladder works best with groups of:
8, 12, or 16 players.

If numbers are uneven, we’ll use a flexible rotation system to keep everyone involved.

Whether you’re competitive, social, or looking to improve your doubles game, this is a great way to play regularly and meet other members.

Ladder timeframe: Each ladder period runs for 10 matchdays over the course of 6 weeks.

📅 Start Date: TBA but aiming for Jun 05
⏰ Time: confirm in group chat
📍 Location: Cromarty Tennis Club

To sign up, please contact our club co-ordinator, Jared, cromarty.tennisprogram@gmail.com 

Spots may be limited depending on court availability.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on court! 🎾
