LADDER AND LEAGUE
Summer Ladder
The 2024 Summer Ladder will run as a 14-week tournament from May 6 – August 11. We are planning on continuing our Sprint Series feature to help create more competition within the ladder and give players the opportunity to win prizes every two weeks along with the overall season long spoils!
In addition, we are excited to run another edition of the Ladder Play Offs on Wednesday, August 14 that will also double as an end of season celebration to which all ladder participants are invited.
To generate the most enjoyable and engaging environment for all the participants, the ladder will be split into divisions from Monday, July 1. 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 both our Thursday Lunchtime Ladder play sessions and Friday Ladder Nights.
Lunchtime ladder play: this concept is a new addition for the winter and each lunchtime ladder session costs $23 to participate in. Hopefully, these will give an opportunity for members of the ladder who have daytime availability to come together to play others around their standard. These 60 minutes sessions will guarantee players at least two ladder matches and the dates/sign-up links for the upcoming season are as follows:
Thursday, August 1 from 12:15 - 1:15 pm
Thursday, August 8 from 12:15 - 1:15 pm
Ladder nights: Each ladder night costs $35 to participate in and you’ll play three matches in a 1.5 hours period, starting at either 5:15 or 6:45 pm against three others around your level. It is also possible to use play credits to cover playing in ladder nights. The winter season ladder night dates/sign-up links are as follows:
Friday, July 26 from 5:15 - 8:15 pm
Friday, August 9 from 5:15 - 8:15 pm
Signing up: To sign up, log into your Squash On Fire account and purchase one of the Ladder packages below. All packages cover administrative/organizational fees, weekly communications and prizes.
Summer Ladder Regular Package $60 – Covers entry into the Summer Ladder.
Summer Ladder Pro Package $240 – Covers entry into the Summer Ladder, 15 off-peak play credits (usable at all times aside from 6 - 7:30 pm on weekdays and 9 - 11:30 am on weekends) to use during this ladder season.
Booking matches: Before the ladder begins on May 6, 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
There will also be an availability column on the standings so players can share when they are generally around to play ladder matches
US Squash Ratings: It is possible for ladder matches to count for US Squash ratings in Club Locker. If you’d like your activity to count, please make sure you provide your US Squash number to Will Hopton (whopton@squashonfire.com)
Sprint series: Every 2 weeks, we will host a different Sprint series with the theme and prizes for each series being announced prior to the start of that iteration.

There will be no charge for court time for those playing and the format will provide a balanced format for all competitors regardless of playing level.

We are excited to announce the Summer 2024 edition of the in-house Squash On Fire league. The league will run on Sunday evenings starting from June 9 and conclude with playoffs and finals on Sunday, August 18. Each Sunday there is usually time for some additional social play alongside and after the counting league matches. There will be no matches scheduled for 7/7 but there will be some courts available for an open round robin for league players.
- Teams will field a match-day roster of 5 players totaling 17.8 US Squash rating points or less. That maps into fielding rosters ranging from beginners to relatively advanced players. Every team needs beginners! Overall team rosters will have 10 - 12 players each so there is no need to be available every Sunday.
- Because the rating cap will be strictly enforced, matches will be competitive and balanced!
- Don’t have a rating? We’ll assign you an initial rating and, after a few matches, you’ll have an official US Squash rating. To get a general idea of your rating, see the descriptions at https://www.ussquash.com/participate/rating-criteria/.
- All players need to be paid US Squash members (see https://ussquash.org/membership/). That’s $149 for 12 months starting from whenever you join.
- Players also must have an account in the Squash On Fire system and have a payment method on file. This is very important for liability reasons.
- All players who sign up will be charged $60 this covers your participation in 3 matches on different Sundays. From your 4th match of the season onwards dues will be $20 each time you play (and only when you play).
- To sign up, click here and enter your name and email address. Optionally, you can also enter your rating, whether your US Squash membership is paid and active, your desired team, and any other notes that would help us place you on a team.
- Please direct any league related questions to Will Hopton (whopton@squashonfire.com) or Cory Capps (corysc@gmail.com).
