August 2002 - The What's New page - As this is an evolving site we thought it was a good idea to let our members know what new functionality was being added!

November 2002 - Points Scoring - Along with the traditional ladder ranking system we have added a points scoring system. These two systems work side by side, so when scores are entered both ladder rankings will be adjusted as before 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 Scoring System' parameter to either 'Ladder Rank' or 'Points' which will indicate the scoring system by which a winner will be decided. That is not to say that winners couldn't be both decided on Points and Rank!

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:

February 2003 - Amending Scores - It was decided to not add this functionality to the first release of Squash-Ladder.com due to the complexity of re-adjusting ladder rankings retrospectively. With the release of the Point Scoring system, amending scores does not have this problem as points are held against each game rather than being based on a 'running' calculation.

The way this works with regards to points and ranking is as follows; if the game is deleted or changed, the game points are removed or amended as necessary. No ladder rankings will be changed unless this was the last game to be added on the ladder, in which case incorrect ranking changes will be rolled-back.

Squash Diary - This would allow players or clubs to record match fixture dates in some form of diary, thereby further aiding the organizing of games.
