Rules

  1. All matches shall follow the USRA Rules of Racquetball.
  2. All matches shall be played at the Dorothy Garrett Coliseum unless another site is agreed upon by both players. When an alternate site is used the cost, if any, will be shared by both players. There is no fee charged for playing at the Coliseum.
  3. New players joining the ladder will start at the bottom of the list.
  4. At any time, you may challenge either of the players ranked one or two places above you, by setting a time in person, calling or sending email to that player.
  5. The match must occur within one week of the challenge. If a challenged player is unable to play during that week, or if the challenger receives no reply within a week, then the challenger wins by forfeit. A no show is a forfeit.
  6. A challenged player will not be required to play more than one match per week. If a second challenge occurs within the same week, the challenged player may refuse the challenge until the next week.
  7. If a player issues a challenge and then is challenged from below before the first match takes place, the second challenge is suspended until the first match is resolved. For example, suppose player #4 has challenged #3, but then receives a challenge from player #6. If #4 beats #3, the challenge from #6 is no longer valid. However, if #4 loses to #3, the challenge from #6 becomes valid, and should be played within one week.
  8. Avoiding unbounded waiting: if a player issues a challenge, but it is being suspended until a match above takes place, and then the player is challenged from below, the first challenge should be withdrawn until after the second challenge is played.
  9. A match consists of best-of-3 games. The first two games are of 15 points each. If a tie breaking game (3rd game) is needed, it is to 11 points.
  10. The winner of the match should report the scores by calling 264-5057 and telling Tony Claxton, or sending an e mail to Tony's Mail box. If the challenger wins, the two players shall swap ranks, and if the challenged wins, the rankings will not be affected.
  11. All decisions rendered by the ladder director (Tony Claxton) are binding and final.
  12. Anyone caught cheating or mis-reporting results will be removed from the ladder.
  13. Most important, no whiners please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
