Tennis ladder league

A tennis ladder that
keeps itself up to date

Keep your tennis club active all season with a digital ladder league. Players challenge each other, enter results and the ranking updates automatically.

What is a ladder league in tennis?

In a ladder league every player sits on a ranking. Players can send challenges to anyone ranked above them. Win, and you climb the ladder. Lose, and you hold your spot or drop a place.

For tennis clubs this is ideal: it is an ongoing format where it doesn’t matter when your members have time to play. There are no fixed rounds. Players schedule their own matches and the ladder runs the whole season.

Slams handles the digital side: challenges, confirmations, result processing and a live ranking that is always up to date.
