Ladder/Round-Robin Announcement

Ladder/Round-robin Announcement
 
In recent years we have seen a decline in members participating in our skill level ladder play.  At the same time, as we have introduced additional opportunities for organized play, we have seen a lot of interest in offerings such as Ladies Ladder and Seasonal League and the Wednesday morning round-robin.  As a result we are restructuring our organized play.

Effective October 1, we will discontinue all skill level ladders.  Our organized options will include:

Mixed Ladder    Mondays         Noon – 2:00     Starts October 14

Men’s Ladder    Wednesdays   Noon – 2:00     Starts October 16
 
Ladies Ladder    Fridays           Noon – 2:00    Starts October 18
 
Seasonal Round-robin:    Saturdays      Noon – 2:00    Starts October 19
 
Seasonal Round-robin will play from October thru April and from June thru August (Summer RR).  Seasonal League will move permanently to the round-robin format.  We will not track scores in round-robin play. Ladders will play October thru April.
 
Introduction to Ladder Play:  Thursdays  Noon – 2:00  Starts October 15
 
This ladder is for players new to Pickleball who need help with the rules, court positioning and keeping score. It will be played like a ladder but with more input and instruction from the coordinator.
 
For players: New – 2.0 skill level

To be eligible to participate in the above Ladders/Round-robin.
1.  You must be a GPC member in good standing.
2.  Must be 2.5 skill level and above.
3.  Must have a unique email address (one that is not shared with another member of the GPC).
4.  Must commit to playing a minimum of 6 times during the season.
5.  Must read and be familiar with the ladder/round-robin rules.  These are currently under revision and will be on the Club’s website no later than October 1st.
