🎾 VIETPADEL LADDER RACE – GENERAL RULES

1. Competition Format

• The ladder is organized in a box system with 5 teams per group or 5 players per group for single (this number may change depending on subscription).

• Each team plays one or more match against every other team in their group during the cycle.

• Matches are played in:

  • Best of 3 sets

  • 3rd set = Super Tie-Break (first to 10 points, win by 2)

• Every game uses the Star Point (2 deuces):

  • At 3rd deuce, the receiving team chooses the receiving side

  • The next point decides the game

2. Ladder Structure

• Two formats are available:

  • Singles Ladder

  • Doubles Ladder

• Teams or individuals are placed into groups based on level (initial seeding or evaluation).

• Each group contains 5 double teams or 5 single players.

3. Cycle Duration

• Each ladder cycle lasts 2 weeks.

• During this period, organise as many matches as possible.

4. Promotion & Relegation

Scoring & Points System

Match Points Allocation

For each match:

• 🟢 Win (2–0 or 2–1) → 3 points

• 🔴 Loss (1–2) → 1 point

• 🔴 Loss (0–2) → 0 points

👉 This rewards teams that win, while still giving credit for close matches.

Example

• Team A wins 2 matches (2–0, 2–1) and loses 1 match (1–2)
  → 3 + 3 + 1 = 7 points

• Team B wins 2 matches (both 2–0) and loses 1 match (0–2)
  → 3 + 3 + 0 = 6 points

👉 Team A ranks higher due to earning a point in a close loss.
