The Problem

Sound familiar?

If you're the one keeping your ladder league club running, you already know what this costs you every week.

📊

Is your ladder living in a spreadsheet?

Manually updating challenge results, recalculating positions, emailing out the updated ladder — then someone queries a result and you start again. OnCourtMatch tracks every challenge and updates standings automatically.

💬

Are challenge disputes eating your time?

Players disputing whether a challenge was accepted, whether a forfeit was valid, whether points were added correctly. With OnCourtMatch, every challenge is tracked in the app — accepted, played and recorded with full score entry.

🚫

Is your ladder stagnant because challenges aren't happening?

When issuing a challenge means finding the right email address and waiting for a reply, many players just don't bother. In-app challenge requests take seconds — active ladders have more activity, not less.

How It Works

Set it up once. It runs itself.

Every step that was eating your evenings is now handled automatically — from the first invite to the final match notification.

Set up your ladder once

Add players to the ladder in their initial positions. OnCourtMatch handles challenges, results and position updates from there.

Players challenge each other in the app

Any player can issue a challenge to players above them in the ladder. The opponent accepts or declines — all tracked in the app.

Results entered with full scoring

After the match, either player records the result with set-by-set scores. Match points calculated automatically — win, close loss or straight-sets loss.

Standings update instantly

Ladder positions update after every recorded result. Every member sees the live ladder in the app — no waiting for the admin to update a spreadsheet.

What You Get

FAQ

Common questions

What sports does the ladder league support?

Any sport with head-to-head match play — tennis, padel, squash, pickleball, badminton and more. The scoring system and challenge logic are fully configurable.

How are ladder positions determined after a challenge?

If the challenger wins, they move up to the defeated player's position and everyone between moves down one place. If the defender wins, positions stay the same. All movement is calculated and applied automatically.

Can players challenge anyone above them or only nearby positions?

You can configure how many positions above a player is allowed to challenge — for example, players can only challenge within 3 places above them. This is set per ladder in the admin portal.

What happens if a challenge isn't played within the time limit?

Forfeit rules apply automatically — you configure the time limit and the forfeit outcome (points awarded to challenger, defender position swap, or no movement). All handled without manual admin.

Can I run a ladder alongside club night sessions?

Yes. The ladder runs completely independently of sessions. Players use the same OnCourtMatch app for both — RSVP to club nights and manage their ladder position from one place.

How do I migrate an existing ladder into OnCourtMatch?

Simply add your players and set their initial ladder positions during setup. Your existing ladder order is preserved from day one.
