All leagues are 6 to 7 weeks of play scheduled one night each week.

Ladder League is doubles play with individual players grouped by skill level and rotating partners for each game. Players record scores of each game using the winning percentage (ratio of points won/games played) to determine ranking on the ladder each week.

Partner (Doubles) League is with a set partner whereas your doubles team would play weekly against another doubles team opponent in your skill level division. A schedule with time, court and opponent is predetermined for the season.

Round Robin is a format whereas you will play games against a different pair of opponents. Typically, you would play all opponents in a specific skill level grouping or division to determine a winner.
