League structure

There are two seasons per year; one beginning in September, the Fall season, and one beginning in January, the Winter season. Each league runs for 14 weeks, and there’s windup night in The 56 restaurant at the end of each season!

This is a mixed league open to both male and female players. The league uses a hybrid league/ladder format. Players are ranked on a ladder based on their proven or stated ability level (beginner, intermediate, advanced or elite) and will be scheduled to play 13 games against a minimum of seven different opponents who are closest to their ability level. Schedules are set at the beginning of each season, however, such that players cannot move up or down the ladder during the season.

The women’s beginner division is half-season (6 dates + windup), bi-weekly (every 2 weeks) on Monday nights. This is a singles division, and matches are three games to 21 (rally scoring) within a 45-minute time slot. Upon registration, players can request that their matches start no earlier than 6:45 pm.

Unfortunately, people cannot drop in as all schedules are set. If anyone gets hurt of drops out, there will be replacement players sought.
