Scoring & Ladder System
Every match earns points toward your ladder position:
- Win = 4 points
- Draw = 2 points
- Loss = 1 point
- Forfeit = 0 points
- No Call / No Show = -4 points
This keeps the competition fair and encourages teams to show up.
If teams tie on points, rankings are decided by set percentage (sets won vs sets lost).
Match Format:
- Regular nights: Games played to 21 points per set
- If 1–1 after two sets, the deciding set is played live (team only needs to be 1 point ahead at full time).
Finals
- After the 10-week regular season, the top 4 teams in each grade qualify.
- Semi-finals: 1st vs 4th, 2nd vs 3rd
- Winners advance to the Grand Final (same night).
Finals are untimed:
- First to win 2 sets
- Deciding 3rd set must be won by 2 clear points
Byes & “XXX” Games
Sometimes, a grade will have an odd number of teams. In this case, you’ll see an “XXX” listed as your opponent:
- This means it’s your bye week
- You’ll receive an automatic win
- You can still come down and play a scratch match, or simply take the night off
Please let us know your preference in advance so we can schedule accordingly.
Forfeits
We understand life happens — but please remember your opposition is relying on a game too.
- Notify us as early as possible if your team can’t make it
- If you’re short players, still come down — we almost always have fill-ins available
- This keeps the comp fair and fun for everyone
Please let us know your preference in advance so we can schedule accordingly.
