Booking matches: Before the ladder begins on May 18, you will be sent your official Ladder email so you will know who is participating and have their contact information to book matches. You can then get to work on submitting challenges to others and scoring points! Matches can be arranged at any mutually convenient time. Plan on grabbing a ladder scorecard when you arrive and submitting it to the front desk team with the result at the end of the match.
Scoring:
- All matches will be the best of 5 games
- Scores should be recorded on a ladder scorecard and returned to the front desk team post play
- Per match played = 1 point to each player
- Result of play = 3 points to the winner, 0, 1 or 2 points to the loser depending on the number of games won
- Bonus point = the winning player receives an additional point for a 3 - 0 margin of victory
- In addition, if you beat someone ranked above you on the “SOF Rank” tab then all points gained will be doubled. This means that it is possible to score 10 points in a single match if you defeat a higher ranked player 3-0.
- You may only submit up to a maximum of 2 matches against the same opponent on any given day of ladder play
- We will again have a player ratings (A, B or C) column on the ladder standings for informational purposes so that participants have some assistance in their match planning
