Challenge Ladder
Operation of the Club Ladder
The use and operation of a club ladder has been determined by a General Meeting of the Bendigo Squash Club. There were two basic reasons for introducing a club ladder.
- To assist the committee in grading players for pennant matches.
- To increase the opportunity for competitive squash within the club.
The ladder operates at the Club on the board and online through this ladder page and through email & social networks. Alterations to the ladder are carried out by a member of the Club Committee.
Details of challenges and matches will be posted on the board within the club, online and at times on social network. Recent matches are displayed on the ladder board, which can be found between courts 1 and 2 at the squash centre.
All club members have been allocated a name tab on the ladder board. Players can only be active in one challenge at a time.
