Park Tennis Ladders

You Only Live Once, But Get To Serve Twice!

Park Tennis Ladders (PTL) is a progressive web app for ranking tennis players that enables them to arrange and record match results.

Inspired by Local Tennis Leagues, we aim to provide a better match up of abilities and an opportunity to play more matches.

How does it work?

Players register with a self proclaimed ability level. They then can join a ladder of players.

Players are initially ranked on the ladder according to ability level. Advanced players at the top ranging down to beginners at the bottom of the ladder.

Players can challenge up to 5 places above them. If they win they leap frog the opponent, if they lose they maintain their position.

Downward challenges are allowed, however if the challenger wins there is no rank changed, but if the opponent wins they are promoted a place as reward.

Ladder rules can be configured (eg challenge range) in the admin.
