Current AACTA Members get to use the ladder for FREE! To set up your account, complete the online form.

If you’ve already played an AACTA ladder match in 2015, then your account has already been set up (and all scores transferred to the new ladder) – do not set up a new account or you’ll have two separate accounts.

After logging into your account in tennis rungs, you’ll be directed to your ‘Player Dashboard.’  Under “My Ladders,” you can initiate a challenge through the “Issue Challenge” button – this automatically emails your opponents with your challenge.

Once the match has been played, you’ll log back into your AACTA Ladder account and report your scores through the “report score” button next to your challenge.  If your opponents aren’t listed in the tennis rungs ladder, ask them to visit the AACTA website to join the ladder.

Since we have a lot of players on our ladder with different partners, we’re using a ‘points-based ladder,’ so ladder results are shown based on individual players and not doubles teams.

In our ‘individual’ doubles ladders, it’s not about playing with one particular partner, it’s about just playing doubles with different people against different people.  Two people propose a match and 2 others accept!

These are traditional bump ladders.

• Players can challenge down.
• A player must wait 7 days before re-challenging the same player.
• You may issue up to 3 challenges at a time being mindful that you must have the availability to play same.
• If the challenge is successful, you will take the spot of the person you challenge and your opponent will be bumped down 1 spot.
• By accepting a challenge, you agree to play the challenge within 8 days after the date of acceptance.
• If a challenge is accepted and not played within 8 days, it will expire and the challenge will be deleted from the system and will have to be re-issued. Of course, since rankings continually change, a re-challenge may not be possible.
• One challenge match win cannot be recorded on multiple ladders.
• When in Tennis Rungs at your dashboard page, please view the rules for whichever ladder you plan to join as some of the details vary slightly depending on the size of the ladder (for instance how far up you can challenge).
