Singles Ladder
Singles Ladder is held every Sunday from 4 – 6pm.
** SINGLES Ladder for March 23rd is cancelled. SBC will be hosting the WA CLOSED Tournament starting March 21st through March 23rd.
During this session, you will have the opportunity to play approximately six to seven singles games against players of similar level in a round robin format. It’s a great way to meet and challenge other players in a competitive format!
To register for the Singles Ladder, visit the ladder registration page.
Select the Singles Ladder, log in to your account, select the date you want to register for, and then click the “Register” button.
Singles Ladder registration will randomly open starting Monday between 7am and 3pm for the following weekend’s ladder. Registration closes at 9am on the day before (Saturday) the ladder. The ladder is held every week unless otherwise noted.
Members who are on the waitlist – will be notified by 1pm Sunday (day of the event) at the latest if they are placed on the ladder roster. We ask all waitlist players to remove themselves or request to be removed if they are unable to wait until 1pm to determine if they will be placed on the roster. This would allow other waitlist members to participate at the last minute.
** Waitlist members, who are placed on the roster – and who cancel out after 2pm will be considered a NO SHOW.
The maximum capacity for the Singles Ladder is 28 players for each session. Please register early each week to reserve your spot! SBC cannot guarantee participation in the ladder to players who registered late or showed up without registration.
Ladder Rules and Policies
Players are placed into brackets A, B, C and D depending on their average score from the last four sessions they have participated in. Players who are new to the ladder will get an initial score based on their own perceived level combined with the organizer’s evaluation.
Ladder participation is free, but all players are expected to come prepared to each session with at least one new shuttlecock to contribute.
If for any reason you are unable to make the ladder session, please unregister yourself as soon as possible on the ladder registration page to open the spot for others. If the ladder registration session has closed and locked, you would need to notify SBC by sending an email to ladder@seattlebadminton.com. Notification must be received four hours before the ladder event start time. Cancellation Deadline is 12pm Sunday.
A no-show penalty will be applied to players who are absent without unregistering or notifying SBC by 12pm the day of the ladder. A no-show penalty of 5 points will be applied to the player’s final score for four weeks and the player will not be eligible to participate the following week. In the event of repeated no-shows, the player might be temporarily banned from participating in the Singles Ladder.
Please commit to staying the whole duration and playing the entirety of the session’s matches. Players who do not complete all of their scheduled games without prior approval are considered a no-show.
As a courtesy, we ask that all ladder participants arrive no earlier than 15 minutes prior. This will allow for additional court time for other members who are not participating in the ladder.
