Welcome to the LNTA Tennis Ladders!

Thank you for choosing to play in an LNTA Ladder. We have many Ladders to choose from — Men’s & Women’s Singles and Women’s 2.5 Doubles. Play in as many as you like! There’s something for everyone.

These Ladders give players more options to compete in a more social and laid-back atmosphere. Play in a Ladder does NOT affect your NTRP rating, however you will be required to list your self-rating or computer rating when joining. Match format will be best of 3 sets, with the 3rd set being a 10-point tiebreaker.

Singles Ladder Info

Our Singles Ladder will use a “bump” format, where lower-ranked players who defeat a higher-ranked player will take their spot. The losing player will then “bump down” one spot. Players will only be able to “challenge up” 3 spots.

The cost to register is $25 per Ladder. There will be a playoff, and the top 2 finishers at the end of the season will receive prizes. See Playoff Info above.

2.5 Doubles Ladder Info

Our 2.5 Doubles Ladder will use a “bump” format, where lower-ranked players who defeat a higher-ranked player will take their spot. The losing pair will then “bump down” one spot. Players will only be able to “challenge up” 3 spots.

The cost is $25 to register in one of the Ladders. Prizes awarded for the winning pair (see Playoff Info above)! The Doubles Ladders are traditional style, so you sign up with a partner.

Congratulations to Jana Ritter – LNTA Singles Ladder’s first winner!
