How to run a Ladder session on LADER

A Ladder plays up and down the courts. Each round, winners move up a court and losers move down.

This session already has its sixteen players.

In Matches Setup, choose Rotating partners, then Ladder, and click Continue.

Collapse the sidebar to give the board more room. Then click Add Court once for each court you're using.

You can drag players onto courts yourself, or place them automatically. To start everyone at their level, click Manage Seeds.

Seeds start from your players' DUPR ratings. You can switch to Alphabetical, or drag players to change the order. Then click Save Seeds.

Back on the board, open Auto-Placement, and choose Place Players by Seed. The top seeds start on Court A.

Promotions per round sets how many players move up from each court. How promotions work explains the rules.

Click Preview Matches. Every court needs at least four players. Check the round, then click Publish Matches.

As the scores come in, from your players or from you, the round fills up.

When every match has a score, Round complete appears. Click Add Round.

The next round's board shows who moved up and who moved down. If you drag anyone to adjust it, Reset Changes undoes your moves.

Then preview and publish the round as before. The round tabs at the top switch between rounds.
