This site is running racquetball ladder software - a web / browser based application to automate the process of running a racquetball ladder.

Challenges are made online and the challenger and challengee receive emails to notify them of when they need to play the match.

Reminders are sent out if the game is unplayed and if no result is recorded by a certain time the match is forfeited and the challenger wins!

If you have never played in a racquetball ladder before, it's a great way for players to get started. Here are the basics...

No matter where you start on the ladder, after a period of time you will end up playing games with people of similar ability. If you improve, you are likely to climb the ladder, but you will then be playing against tougher opponents. If you wish to take a break from the ladder (e.g. you are away for 6 months) then you can do so by clicking on 'take a break' from the admin page (you need to be logged in to access this page).

When you are ready to make a challenge, go to the rankings page (you must be logged in first). Then click on the player you wish to challenge and follow the instructions. In order to play your match you must be a member of the JCC. The ladder rules and latest racquetball rules can be found by clikcing on the Information button.

If you have trouble logging in please try again. It doesn't always work like you think the first time.

Also, try not to use the Back and Forward buttons on your browser. It confuses the software sometimes.

*** VERY IMPORTANT ***

All ladder communication is via e-mail, so please check your e-mail often.

In the ranking page, by the position of each player, you can click on "INFO" to get contact information. As many email service providers are using anti-spam software, there is a possibility players may not receive an email sent to arrange a game. Thus, it is important that you add a contact phone number to your "info" section. You may add additional information like days of the week or time of day that you prefer to play.

Once you've registered, please add your cell phone number to your contact information.

To add contact "INFO", go to the "OPTIONS" menu and click on the first option "CHANGE EMAIL AND CONTACT DETAILS". You will be presented a window to add your information.

This Racquetball ladder was formed on 9/7/07 to promote singles play amongst JCC players.

New members are welcome!

Please make every effort NOT to forfeit games.

You will have noticed a points score appear next to player names on the rankings page (if logged in). This is a trial points rating system based on the classic Elo system. Players will be awarded points for winning and lose points for losing depending on how difficult the system calculates your opponent to be. It will take a few games to settle down the scoring system. Currently the rating is displayed for information purposes only but in future it will be possible to arrange the ladder ranking system around this points score.

This software is provided free of charge. To support further development of the ladder please consider making a donation. Thank you.
