Singles Ladder

 

No Singles Ladder on Sunday, March 24th (2024) due to WA Closed Tournament

During this session you will have the opportunity to play approximately six (6) to seven (7) singles games against players of similar level in a Round Robin format.

Singles Ladder is held every Sunday (unless otherwise noted) – 4pm to 6pm.

Singles Ladder registration randomly opens 3pm Saturday through 3pm Sunday for the following session.

SBC will not guarantee ladder participation to players who registered late or showed up without registration.

** The current week’s session will close by 9am Saturday prior to Sunday’s ladder.  

Event is for active members ONLY.

** As a courtesy, we ask that all ladder participants arrive no earlier than fifteen (15) minutes prior to the start of the game. This will allow for additional court time for other members who are not participating in the ladder. Ladder participants occupying a court prior to the 15 minute window will be asked to vacate the court to allow non-ladder participant members court time.

Players are placed into brackets A, B, C and D depending on their average score from the last four session they have participated in. Players who are new to the Singles Ladder will get an initial score based on their own perceived level combined with the organizer’s evaluation. The Singles Ladder uses the same scoring matrix as the Fixed-Partner Ladder for which you can see the detailed break down here.

After the Singles Ladder is complete all players are welcome to stay and challenge other players across brackets!

The maximum capacity for the Singles Ladder is twenty-one (21) players for each session. Please register early each week to reserve your spot!

To sign up, please go to the ladder signup page and choose the scenario the applies to you:

  • Never participated in any programs:
    • Click on the ‘New to League’ and complete both Step 1 (joining specific ladder program) and Step 2 (creating a ladder program account).
  • Previously participated in a program, but new to the Singles Ladder:
    • Click on the ‘New to League’ and complete only Step 1 and make sure you enter the same email address you use to log into your account (email address entered when you completed Step 2).
  • Previously participated in the Singles Ladder or just completed any of the above steps:
    • Select the Singles Ladder and Log in to your account. Then select the date you want to sign up for and click the ‘Register’ button.

If for any reason you are unable to make the ladder session, please inform SBC by sending an email to Ladder@SeattleBadminton.com – Notification must be received FOUR (4) hours before the ladder event start time – OR – you may unregister yourself as soon as possible. You could unregister yourself before the ladder session is closed. Once the ladder session is closed, you would need to send an email to Ladder@SeattleBadminton.com 


No Show Penalty:

Following situation will end with a NO SHOW PENALTY (5 points). This penalty will be applied to the player’s final score for four weeks. The player will also not be allowed to participate in the next Singles Ladder event he/she signs up for.

  • The Player registered for the session and did not show up without notifying SBC four (4) hours before league start time – which is 12pm Sunday the day of the event (Four hours notification will allow us to contact players who are on the waitlist for the session.)
  • The player did not complete all of his/her scheduled games without prior approval of the on-duty league manager.

There has been too many NO SHOWS – which is unfair to those who want to participate but cannot because of the maximum number of players enrolled.
