WEST HILLHURST SQUASH LADDER INFO
NEW LADDER MEMBERS
West Hillhurst Squash is very proud to run one of the largest ladders in Alberta. Consisting usually of 70 – 120 players, ALL LEVELS are welcome to join as the ladder levels range from beginner to advanced!
The ladder runs typically 8-12 boxes of different levels (depending on time of year). So we need some information when you join:
- Have you played in other ladders before?
- Do you play in tournaments or interclub?
- Have you played with anyone at WH that we can benchmark you with?
Match scheduling is done individually within your box; you will have 8 weeks to personally arrange to play everyone in your ladder box. Ladder boxes consist of 6-10 players per box level.

TIMING & COST
The ladder is FREE for all WH Squash Members
Ladders are 8 weeks long. 5 ladders in the year: Sept + Oct | Nov + Dec | Jan + Feb | Mar + April | May + June
POINTS / SCORING
Games are best of 5 – to 15 points (nocap). All games won go to your point total; i.e. 1 point per game won. So the winner will always receive 3 points, and losers can receive 0-2 points depending on match result (3-0, 3-1, 3-2)
IF you cannot finish a match due to time, you can schedule to finish another time or do it by points collective in games already played
IF you cannot finish due to mid-game injury, the injured player will forfeit the remaining sets and keep sets won points. Unless mutually decided with players to reschedule for another date
LADDER PROMOTION / RELEGATION
After 8 weeks the top 2 players will move up and bottom 2 will move down a ladder box level. (this can change based on new players and players dropping out through injury etc)
SCHEDULING GAMES
Games are scheduled independently within your box – players will get emails/phone numbers of everyone in their level box, and are to arrange games within the 8 weeks with your fellow box members
You must be able to play a minimum of 3 matches in your current ladder to play the next ladder. You will be “sat out” for one ladder session before you can rejoin the next ladder box session
IF the opponent doesn’t show up to a game, they will forfeit this game 3-0, unless players mutually decide on a reschedule
WITHDRAWAL FROM LADDER; INJURY ETC
IF you are unable to finish the ladder due to injury etc., please inform whfitness@westhillhurst.com immediately, as well as your ladder box players. Games already played will no longer count as points to players still remaining in the box
OPT IN TO PLAY
Players will be automatically enrolled into the following ladder box during the season (after first session – Sept / Oct)
Players who do not play a minimum of 3 matches will be automatically deleted from the next ladder session
ENJOY THE SQUASH LADDER!
