Players are grouped into boxes of 4-5 participants with similar playing abilities, with THREE-FOUR weeks to complete matches against each opponent. Based on match results, players will move up/down/stay in their current box for the next round. Points are earned for participation as well as for winning.
The Ladders operate through the Ladder Scores web site. Before the start of the next round you will receive an email from Ladder Scores with instructions to complete your registration. You must respond to that email in order to be fully registered.
Late entries will be accepted during the first week of each round IF there is space to accommodate them. Entries during the last two weeks will start in the following round.
