Chamisal Night Pickleball Ladder League

Winter Session Information

Dates: November 12 through February 27

Cost: $20

  • A session wrap-up party is included, and awards will be presented.
  • Winter Session matches are scheduled for Tuesdays at 5:30 p.m., Thursdays at 5:30 p.m., and Saturdays at Noon. Each time is flexible on that day if all players in that group agree.
  • Players are not required to play every time slot. However, players who do not participate cannot move up the ladder, so participation is encouraged.
  • Players are responsible for inputting their scores into the system at the end of play.
  • Once groups are set for the week, players are responsible for getting a sub for their position. No-show players will be penalized for not showing up for play. The Pickleball director is available for assistance, but inevitably, it is the player’s responsibility to get a sub for their game.
  • DUPR Ratings (Free Rating Service)
  • Matches will be reported, and DUPR ratings will be used as part of the process for this league and future events. All players must have a registered DUPR account (https://dupr.com) and join Chamisal as a participating club. The system will automatically link all information from this point forward.

Ranking

  • Players are re-ranked each week by the system according to the match outcomes using the following rules:
  • After play, the four players in the group will be ranked from 1 to 4, depending on the accumulative score of all three games.
  • If you finish first in your group, you move ahead of the player finishing last, just above your group.
  • The #1 ranked player must play or be bumped to #2. The winner of group 1 will be the new #1 ranked player.
  • Any player who is a “no show” will be recorded as finishing last in his/her group and can be limited from play for the following rounds.
  • No inactive player can move above an active player.

Format:  Weekly matches based on availability of 3 games to 15 points.  Each player plays with a different partner each game.

I’m not a member of Chamisal, can I play?  This league is for Chamisal members only.  Please see membership options if you wish to participate.

Which Nights are matches played: Based on availability matches will be on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings starting at 5:00pm.  If all 4 players wish to move that time and courts are available, they can do so.

What if I will be out of town for a couple weeks:  You will be asked to provide your availability ahead of time and will schedule matches when you are available.

Who decides the 4 players that are playing?  All matches will be arranged by the Pickleball Director based on ladder position.  Example would be 1-4 play, 5-8 play etc., as people move up and down the ladder as well as people are not available for a given week matches will shift but stay in the general order of ladder position.
