Ladder Tournaments
What is a Ladder Tournament?
Starting this spring, Kwantlen Recreation is running Ladder tournaments! Ladder tournaments are fun and easy to participate in because you get to decide when and who you want to play. They are great for people who have a tight schedule or who have varying degrees of ability. Each player occupies a position on the ladder which will then determine the order of how the matches can be selected. Lower ranked opponents challenge higher ranked opponents to matches in hopes of overtaking their position on the ladder. You can schedule your matches during any open gym or badminton drop-in on the gymnasium schedule. All levels of ability are welcome to join.
How it Works
- Sign up for the tournament of your choice.
- Players in the tournament are randomly assigned a position on the ladder.
- Depending on a player’s ladder position, the player can challenge other players to matches by emailing or calling to arrange a game. If the lower ranked player wins they get to take over the higher ranked players ladder position, but if the lower ranked player loses they drop down one spot.
- The goal is to be at the top of the ladder or to have moved up the furthest by the last day of the tournament.
