Integrated Ladder Functionality

We run multiple ladders and would definitely appreciate this. One thing to keep in mind is that there are different ladder setups, so it would be good to have some flexibility. Our ladders are box ladders (X people in the box, some people move up and down each month)

As we were evaluating 3rd party tennis ladders to use this season while we wait for the integrated one from Court Reserve, we put some thought into what we would like to see in a Court Reserve ladder.  Please consider the following functions/capabilities when creating a ladder module that is hopefully integrated with the rest of Court Reserve

• Support for both box and challenge ladders with flexible scoring capabilities including tie breaker rules
• Integrate with member data so that participants do not have to replicate data including age, gender, email, tennis rating, etc.
• Support for both singles or doubles ladders
• For each ladder created, provide the capability of limiting enrollment by age, gender, tennis rating
• Integrated email exchange between the challenger(s) and the player(s) being challenged;
• Allow admin to specify wording of the challenge email (to include club specific rules)
• If doubles, all 4 participants should be included in the email exchange

• Integrated court booking for the ladder challenge – provide a setting to determine whether or not this counts towards players' booking quotas

• Allow fee for joining the ladder to be optionally charged or not
• Allow user to temporarily take him/herself off the ladder or prevent challenges without affecting position on the ladder (e.g. vacation, injury, etc.)
• Settings configured by Admin
• Set how many levels up or down you can challenge
• Settings for how many days after a challenge must the match be accepted and then played
• Automatic default if challenge is not accepted
• Automatic removal or suspension from ladder if user inactive for X days/weeks

Any idea when your ladder module might be coming?

Ladder play is an integral part of our club activity for both men and women.  Was actually surprised that a program with so many good features has not integrated this into your software.. Please make this a HIGH priority.

Dennis, we have a great tennis ladder product called TennisRungs.com that many of our tennis clubs are using. Yes, we are working on integrating a ladder/league/tournament platform into our platform both for tennis and pickleball.

Would you suggest waiting for this feature? Or starting to use TennisRungs now? How similar will they be?

Hi Lucas, 

If you're looking for TENNIS ladders, then you could go to TennisRungs for now. 
Pickleball leagues are going to beta in early April and are almost ready.

Kim - Is the Pickleball Ladder Leagues still set for Beta in April? 

It would be great if the Tennis Rungs functionality could be integrated with our member data in Court Reserve as we are having issues keeping the two lists in sync.  We have people in Tennis Rungs from last year that are no longer members this year and I think we need to find them manually to remove them?  Is there an easier way?

I agree!! I'd love to be able to integrate the members data to Tennis Rungs

When this ladder functionality becomes available, could it be "generic" as I'd like to offer a squash ladder, a racquetball ladder, and a table tennis ladder too...

Hello. Wondering when the pickleball ladder league will be released. We would love to be a beta tester if possible :)

Hi there! Pickleball Flex leagues is currently in Closed Beta. We are shooting to have it available for Open BETA (all customers) towards the end of August. It would move to a Paid Add-on about a month after release. But we'll have the timeline updated and further information once we make it available for Open Beta.
