MCTA 3.0 "Shots & Ladders" Now Two Winter Leagues!

Due to the popularity of the fall league, MCTA is offering two 3.0 "Shots & Ladders" Leagues for the winter season, one for six weeks at College Park and one for nine weeks at Wheaton. If you are a 3.0 woman player looking for a challenging and fun doubles league that plays the same day, same time, and same location every week, then one of these two MCTA "Shots & Ladders" winter leagues will be perfect for you.

League Details

Schedule. In the six-week league, each player will play 4 times and have 2 byes. In the nine-week league, each player will play 6 times and have 3 byes. The schedule for the season will be available after registration closes and before the first match. Players will have the opportunity after registration closes to select specific bye dates, if needed.

Move Up and Down 3 Courts. The doubles league will be run on three courts and the object will be during the course of the season to move up from lower to higher courts, and try not to slide down. Play will become more challenging as players climb higher.

Ladder. To begin, each player's spot on the ladder will be randomly drawn. After that, a player's spot on the ladder will be adjusted up or down after each week's play. However, if a player has a bye, her ladder spot will be frozen until she plays again, and the other players will move up or slide down the ladder around her spot. Each week, the players who are scheduled to play will be assigned to Courts 1, 2 and 3 based on their current positions on the ladder.

Match Play. At each match, four players will be scheduled to play three rounds on one court. During the three rounds of play, each player will play 8 games with each of the other three players on the court. Score will be kept of the number of games each player wins in each round, and the total score at the end of the match will determine each player's future spot on the ladder.

Teams. Every player will also be assigned to one of two teams. Regardless whether a player moves up or down on the ladder, every game won will be posted to the player's team, and will count toward winning the team championship.

Management. MCTA has partnered with Ann and Bev of Tennis WinWin, who have had considerable experience with this league format, to manage the league. They will be in charge of the schedule, the ladder, scoring, and all the other league details.

IMPORTANT! It is necessary for all players to arrive 15 minutes before the match begins. Match penalties will apply to late arriving players.

Players are randomly assigned to either the Green Team or the Purple Team. The total number of games won each week by each player will be posted to the player's team total, regardless whether the player moves up or down the Ladder. At the end of the season, the team with the greater number of games will win the Team Championship.

Ladder Championship

At the end of the season, the player at the top of the Ladder will win the Ladder Championship. Ladder positions for the first week will be randomly drawn. Each week thereafter, the Ladder will be updated and posted here.
