BOX LADDER

The Stefanovic Academy Box Ladder is a fun and competitive way to play regular singles or doubles matches, meet new players, and improve your game.

Players are grouped into boxes based on skill level. During each round, players compete against others in their box and arrange matches directly with their opponents. At the end of each round, results determine who moves up, stays in the same box, or moves down.

Whether you're looking for competitive match play or simply want to play more tennis, the Box Ladder is a great way to stay active and challenge yourself throughout the season.

PLAY. COMPETE. IMPROVE. CLIMB THE LADDER.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Join the Ladder

Register to participate and you'll be placed in a box based on your playing level.

2. Schedule Your Matches

Arrange match times directly with your opponents, giving you the flexibility to fit matches into your schedule.

3. Play Your Matches

Each box contains several players. During each round, play a match against every other player in your box.

4. Match Scoring & Format

• Matches are best two out of three sets.
• Sets are played to six games, with a tiebreak at 6–6 (first to 7 points, win by 2).
• If sets are split, the third set may be played as a super tiebreak to 10 points (win by 2) or as a full set if time allows.
• ITF rules of tennis apply.

5. Record Your Results

Submit your match scores through the member portal after each match so the ladder standings can be updated.

6. Move Up or Down

At the end of each round, your results determine your position in the ladder.

For a standard box of five players:

• Top 2: Move up one box
• Middle player: Remains in the same box
• Bottom 2: Move down one box

7. Box Points System

• Match win: 4 points
• Match loss: 1 point for participation

Your points and results contribute to your final box standings and determine your movement for the next round.

8. Start the Next Round

New boxes are created based on the results, and the competition continues. Keep playing, improving, and climbing the ladder!
