What is the Ladder League Format?
Ladder League is a MatchUp format that generates a round robin event for players grouped into ladders. At the end of each round, the top player from each ladder group will be promoted to a higher ladder (except for ladder group 1) and the bottom player will be relegated to a lower ladder (except for the bottom ladder group)*.
From the Players (or Draw) tab, select the players for the event. Players can be selected from any group for this event and matches will be arranged based on the ladder group assigned from within the Draw tab.
From the Draw tab,
select the Ladder League Singles or Ladder League Doubles format.
the number of courts should be selected, and should be sufficient for all matches to be played in parallel.
select the number of ladder groups you require (between 2 & 9).
To arrange players into ladder groups, tap on the first row in the table. The list of players will be displayed. Press the "Reassign all players to ladders" button to randomly assign players to the number of ladder groups specified. Or drag and drop players to a ladder group as required.
For a doubles event, the number of players in a ladder group must be 4, 5, 8 or 9. With 5 and 9 players, each player will receive one bye. The number of games in each round is determined by the number of players in a ladder group as it is a true round robin where you partner with every other player. For example, 4 players = 3 matches, 8 players = 7 matches.
For a singles event, the number of players in a ladder group must be a least 3.
Once round 1 matches have been generated, save the event.
