Perfect For
How The Ladder Moves
Whether in a single 90-minute session or across an 8-week season, players naturally climb to their exact competitive level.
Court 1 (King Court)
Highest ranked players of the session battle for the top spot.
Court 2 (Challenger)
High-intensity transition court where any team can break through to the top.
Court 3 (Entry / Base)
Equal playtime court where emerging players build momentum and climb.
In doubles play, Good Game Buddy automatically splits partners after every round so players never get stuck with the same teammate.
How To Run A Multi-Week Ladder League
Most leagues run 4, 6, 8, or 10 weeks. Here is the exact friction-free playbook for organizing your Tennis ladder without spreadsheet headaches.
Seed Your Week 1 Courts
Assign 4 players to each court (Court 1 = highest skill, Court 2 = intermediate, Court 3 = entry). If starting blind, you can randomize or run a quick Mexicano round where scores automatically seed the initial court rungs.
Run The Weekly Session
Players play a 3-game round-robin or King of the Court rotation on their assigned court. With 4 players on a court, each player partners with everyone else once. Every point scored counts toward individual standings.
Promote & Relegate For Next Week
At the end of the night, the top 1 or 2 finishers on each court advance up one court for the following week, while the lowest 1 or 2 finishers drop down one court. Court 1 winners hold the King Court.
