The 2025 Fall Ladder will run as a 14-week tournament from September 15 - December 14. We are introducing new morning group sessions and will continue our Sprint Series feature to help create more competition within the ladder, giving players the opportunity to win prizes every four weeks along with the overall season long spoils!

In addition, we are excited to run another edition of the Ladder Play Offs on Wednesday, December 17 that will also double as an end of season celebration to which all ladder participants are invited to enjoy complementary drink and food vouchers.

To generate the most enjoyable and engaging environment for all the participants, the ladder will be split into divisions from Monday, November 3. This means that during the final half of the season we will see a series of concurrent battles as competitors strive to win their respective divisions.

As ever, the goal is to encourage players of all skill levels to take part! The concept of evenly matched games will also apply to the formatting of our Sunrise Wednesday Mornings, Thursday Lunchtime Ladder play sessions, and Friday Ladder Nights.

Booking matches: Before the ladder begins on September 15, 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
