| Ladder Ranking |
The site uses two ranking systems, Traditional Ladder and Points. These two systems work side by side,
so when scores are entered both ladder rankings and points will be assigned to each player based on the score.
Members will then be able to see their Ladder positions sorted by either Ladder Rank or Points.
The ladder administrator will also be able to set a 'Preferred Ranking System' parameter to either 'Ladder Rank' or
'Points' which will indicate the Ranking system by which a winner will be decided.
That is not to say that winners couldn't be both decided on Points and Ladder Rank!
Traditional Ladder Ranking If the winner is of lower rank than his opponent, he will move up
to his opponents rank and the opponent and all players in-between move down one position.
If the winner is of higher rank than his opponent, no rank changes will be made.
Points Ranking It is expected that the points system will be used for teams wishing to score
on a league basis where each player plays every other a fixed number of times.
However using this system on a traditional ladder can be fun, as it 'rewards' players who play a lot of games as well as just winners!
The points awarded for each score are as follows:
|
| Score |
Points |
| 3 - 0 |
4 - 1 |
| 3 - 1 |
4 - 2 |
| 3 - 2 |
4 - 3 |
| 2 - 0 |
3 - 1 |
| 2 - 1 |
3 - 2 |
| 2 - 2 |
3 - 3 |
| 1 - 0 |
2 - 1 |
| 1 - 1 |
2 - 2 |

| Entering Results |

From here select the date the game was played and the Ladder on which the game was played (note, only 'Open' ladders will appear in this list).
Select your opponent from the list, the list shows all members of the selected ladder (note, you can only enter results
for games played against other members of the ladder who are registered which Squash-Ladder.com).
When entering game scores there are a few rules that must be followed; you must always enter a score for the first game and any one player
can only have a maximum of three winning games. The highest score wins each game, this covers all variants of traditional and PARS scoring systems.
Finally you can enter any notes/comments about the game, then click "Enter" to save the results.

How Amending a result will affect the rankings: The way this works with regards to points and ladder ranking is as follows;

No ladder rankings will be changed unless this was the last game to be added on the ladder,
in which case the ranking changes will be rolled-back to where they were before the game was entered.
