Challenge Ladder Rules

• The challengee (person being challenged) gets to choose whether they want to play singles or doubles.
• You may challenge a player only one team above you. 
• The challengee must respond and schedule a match time within 3 days of a challenge.
• A player can be challenged a maximum of 2 times in a week’s time and cannot be challenged twice consecutively by the same challenger.
• Match format is 2 of 3 sets, regular scoring (with AD, 12-point tiebreaker at 6-all).
• Think ahead, play matches all at once.

• Non-responsive challengees and injury ranking protection requests will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

• There will be no more challenges made after the Sunday before a tournament. (All challenges made during the week before a tournament will not be taken into effect until the next tournament.)

• If you have been bumped down a team during the challenge period, you may request a rebuttal (challenge back)

Singles Rules 

• If the challenger defeats the challengee, the two players switch teams.

Doubles Rules

• Partner choosing:
  • Challengers may choose from their current team or from 1 team above.
  • Challengees (person being challenged) may choose from their current team or from any team below.

• If the challenger defeats the challengee, just these two player switch teams

• Mixed is not an option.

• The rebuttal match rule is only applicable if the following conditions (same as above) are met:
  • You may challenge [or rebuttal]  a player one team above you. 
  • A player cannot be challenged twice consecutively by the same challenger (i.e. you cannot challenge a person, win the challenge, lose the rebuttal, then challenge the same person again without someone else challenging the person you originally challenged first) This prevents an endless "back and forth" scenario. 
  • Rebuttal match may only be made 24 hours after the original challenge
