LADDER LEAGUE OVERVIEW |
SPI is Offering a Variety of Ladder Leagues
During Fall/Winter Programming at Uptown Jack's
SPI has scheduled three ladder leagues for winter programming at Uptown Jack's: a men's league on Mondays, co-ed league on Wednesdays and women's league on Fridays. To date, over 100 SPI members have participated in ladder leagues. If you are interested, why not give it a shot?
When will ladder leagues start and end?
The next leagues start the week of January 3rd and will run for six weeks. Ladder leagues take place in the 10:45 am - 12:45 pm time slot. . Registration for these leagues opens December 27th at 7:00 PM.
What is the cost?
The cost for each Ladder League is $10.00 payable on the Pickleball Brackets website at the time of registration. Additionally, each person is responsible to pay daily court fees ($5.50 per individual session or $10 for a 10-pass punch card or $60 for a monthly pass).
Who are ladder leagues for?
Ladder leagues are open to players of any age, any level. The ladder league is NOT just for advanced players. The aim of the ladder league is for all players to enjoy playing pickleball with other players of a similar calibre. A secondary aim is to help players obtain a club rating.
How do the ladders work?
The way ladders work is that players are initially grouped with people closest to their own level. After each week, one player in each group moves up, one moves down and the rest stay the same. After play is finished, players’ scores are entered into Pickleball Brackets. After each session, players ratings are recalibrated and new groups are put together for the next session, based on that new rating. Players make their way up and down the ladder based on their own level of play.
How are initial ratings determined?
For players who have played tournaments, their initial rating for the ladder will be based on that tournament rating first. If you don’t have a tournament rating, then a club rating would be used and if you don’t have that, the self-rating you provided when signing up for your Pickleball Brackets account will be used. Again, this is just for the initial rating. After play starts, your club rating will move up and down based on performance.
Must I commit to playing every session?
You do not have to commit to play every session but the more you play the more accurate your rating will get. However, you DO have to confirm your attendance each day, in advance, if you plan to play.
How do I register?
To register for the league, you will first have to sign up for a free account with Pickleball Brackets - see our BOOKINGS PAGE. Next, you need to go to “clubs” and scroll down to join the Saskatoon Pickleball Inc. club. After that, go to leagues and join the League you're interested in. As mentioned, players will need to confirm before each session whether they will be attending and the first 32 will get to play. A maximum of 36 players will be registered in each league.
