Welcome to the SFTC Ladders! We host two ladder events each year, featuring both singles and doubles competitions. The cost is $20 per event, whether you play singles or doubles. Please note that you must be an SFTC member to participate in the Spring or Fall Ladders. We do not choose partners for you, so please bring your own doubles partner. If you need help finding one, feel free to email the Ladder Director, or you can post on one of our social media pages to connect with other players looking for a partner.

The Fall Ladder runs from August through November, with playoffs in December, and the Spring Ladder runs from January through April, with playoffs in May. To learn more about the SFTC Ladders, please check out the Ladder Rules & FAQs.

You can join the ladder at any time during the season. However, if you join after the start dates mentioned above, you won't have any required matches for your first month, but you can still work on your 8 optional challenge matches for the season. Our ladders are a great way to meet other players in the community. Whether playing for fun or competition, each match played will earn you points.

Once you have completed your SFTC Membership Registration, a "Ladders" tab will appear in your account. On that tab, you'll find important information and a link to register for either the Fall or Spring Ladder.
