University Singles Ladder 2007-2008

Results should be emailed to [email protected]
Please include the words "Ladder result" in the subject

The university singles ladder is one of the main tools for varsity selection, as the CUPC President simply doesn't have enough time to come and watch everyone play throughout the year! Invitations to trials for the varsity squad will partly be given out based on results on the ladder throughout the year. Anyone interested in joining the ladder should contact the CUPC League Secretary.

Players occupying the TOP THREE places (highlighted on the ladder below) when the deadline for varsity selection is reached, will automatically qualify for the Varsity team.

Players on ROW THREE automatically qualify for the Varsity Trial.

When the CU Masters is held each year, players in the top 10 positions at the time (i.e. rungs 1, 2, 3, 4) will automatically qualify, with the other 6 spaces in that competition going to wildcard entries.

Rules of the Ladder

  1. You may challenge any player up to 2 levels above you. If your challenge is successful then you and the other player will swap places directly on the ladder. If you are on the top 5 rows you may only challenge a player who is 1 row above you.
  2. All challenges must be answered within 5 days and played within 10 days from the date the original challenge was made or else a walkover could be given.
  3. 5 points are given for a win, 0 points for a loss
  4. Up to +5 or -5 points are given for frame difference in any one match, i.e. a 6-4 win gives the victor +2 for frame difference, but a 6-0 win gives +5, not +6.
  5. Once the deadline for varsity selection is announced challenges should be answered within 2 days and played within 4 days. At the deadline, if there are any outstanding challenges then they must be played.
  6. Only one on going challenge at a time please - you are not allowed to challenge the entire row above you and play whoever responds first nor are you allowed to stack up challenges i.e. you may not organise future conditional challenges based upon the outcome of a match your playing e.g. "if I beat X I shotgun a challenge on Y who is 2 rows above x" nor should you stack up a list of people who wish to challenge you.
  7. You are not officially involved in a challenge with someone above you until they email back confirming your challenge and that they are free to play you. (This is not a license for people who are challenged to ignore challenges). If whilst waiting for a reply from someone you've challenged you receive a challenge from below then that challenge stands and you must play it even if it turns out that the person you originally challenged is free.
  8. Any suspected foul play when it comes to accepting and making challenges should be reported to the League Secretary immediately who will ask to see the relevant emails with their date and time stamps before making a decision.
  9. Possible penalties for ignoring challenges:
    1. Forced to play the ignored challenge and temporarily barred from challenging up.
    2. Moved to the bottom of the ladder
    3. Permanent removal from the ladder for the season
    4. Barred from varsity selection.
    The latter two are for continued abuse of the system.
  10. If the League Secretary feels that a player is ignoring or delaying challenges from below in favour of making their own challenges up the ladder they may temporarily prevent that player from challenging up and require they accept a certain amount of challenges from below. The number deemed appropriate will be based upon that player's position on the ladder and the number of challenges they have made and received.
  11. A match should be played over at least 5 frames, more is better, but you should agree between yourselves.
  12. Challenges to the top 4 rungs must be over at least 9 frames.
  13. The table played on should preferably be decided on by yourselves, but if you can't agree then the player who was challenged (is highest) has the final say.
  14. All results should be e-mailed to [email protected] ASAP so that the ladder can be updated. It is down to the winner to send the result in.
  15. The top 3 players on the ladder automatically qualify for the varsity team. Players on row 3 automatically qualify for the varsity team trial. Selection of other players for the varsity teams and or the varsity trial is the complete discretion of the varsity team captains.
  16. There must be at least a 1 week wait after losing a match before the player that beat you is obliged to grant you a rematch (they can if they wish, subject to rules 6 and 7 of course).
  17. All matches are to be played to World Rules.
  18. Any player who fails to show up within 30 minutes of the agreed time shall forfeit the match.
  19. Walkovers shall be given as a 5-4 victory (i.e. +1 frame difference for the purposes of the stats table, with 5 for the win as well).
  20. Claims for a walkover must be made by at most 3 days after the 10 day time limit for playing matches has expired.
