            <description><![CDATA[ Entries are now being taken for the university and university women's singles ladders. They're free, and you can play as many or as few matches as you like.<br />
<br />
Entries received before the start of the season will be seeded according to previous performance and experience. Later entries will be added to the bottom of the ladder, so it's best to get in now.<br />
<br />
If you'd like to be added or have any questions please post below or email us. Women may compete in either or both, so let us know.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ I am sad that a certain Rob Cork has more ladder league table points than myself and so if anyone would like to play a ladder friendly on Monday evening at CSC against me, then sign up here... preferably someone i haven't played a ladder match against before.  :) (But equally i'll play someone i have played before if noone i haven't played signs up)<br />
<br />
Could be a good chance to get spotted before BUSA selection if you're very keen. <br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
Steve<br />
<br />
p.s. Some of the other experienced uni guys should start a thread like this  :) we can make an evening of it and get some good practice going. Let me know what you guys think.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ <span style="color:red">For full information and rules, please check out the <a href="http://www.srcf.ucam.org/cupc/uniladder.php" rel="nofollow" >Uni ladder page</a>.</span><br />
<br />
The University singles ladder is a great way to meet new people and visit different college bars, not to mention being an important tool when it comes to selection for the university teams.  As Varsity approaches, a deadline will be announced at which time the players occupying the top 6 positions on the ladder will automatically qualify for places on the Varsity team.<br />
<br />
Players may challenge anyone up to two rungs above them, unless you are on one of the top 5 rungs in which case you may only challenge the rung immediately above you.  For example, rung 6 may challenge rung 5 or 4, but rung 5 can only challenge rung 4.<br />
<br />
Challenges should ideally be issued via email.  You could try PMing the person you are trying to reach on these forums, or making a post on this board, but email should be the most reliable and fastest method of communication.  If you are having difficulty getting a challenge with someone above you, feel free to email the League Secretary or just talk about it on these boards - that's what they're here for!]]></description>
