Ladders
The OTLBC ladders are an excellent way for members of all levels to meet other players of similar ability and enjoy some friendly competition. Players are grouped in boxes, each with 4-5 players of similar playing ability, and they have three weeks to play each of the others in their box. Then, depending on how those games go, players move up, down, or stay put for the next round. There are boxes from beginner to expert, so everyone can find their level. The ladders are especially helpful to new members.
The OTLBC has two ladders: Men’s Singles and Women’s Singles. Click here for more information on signing-up, arranging matches, and ladder rules.
