The winner of a league, tournament, or challenge match is not obliged to accept a challenge from the loser of the match for a period of 3 weeks after the match has been played. Match results are applied to ladder positions in the chronological order in which the matches are played. When a lower ranked player wins a challenge match, the lower ranked player assumes the higher ranked player's ladder position and all intermediate players are moved down one position. Players for whom no match result, whether as winner or loser, has been reported to the Ladder Coordinator within the last six months will be removed from the ladder. Once removed, the player may challenge back into the ladder at any position at any time.
Matches are best of five games.
The ball played shall be the Dunlop XX Yellow Dot, unless the players agree otherwise. The court played shall be chosen by the higher ranked player. Any court or guest fees shall be the equal responsibility of the two players, unless the players agree otherwise. Match results must be reported to the Ladder Coordinator within 1 week to count towards position on the ladder.
