The ladder is provided as a service to The Club Port Baku.

It is intended to encourage friendly competition and aid players in finding partners at their approximate level of skill.

The squash ladder is not a scientific instrument to determine players relative strengths.

We try to keep the rules as simple and unbureaucratic as possible.

Ladder Rules

• Any player may challenge a player up to 3 positions higher for a ladder match.
• When a higher-ranked player A beats a lower-ranked player B, standings remain unchanged.
• When an unranked or lower-ranked player B beats a higher-ranked player A, player B will take player A's ladder position and player A will drop one rank.
• When a player first registers, he or she will be unranked.
• A player becomes ranked upon the first win against a ranked player.
• A player that has been inactive during a whole month will be dropped by one rank on the first day of the following month.
• Results should be entered as soon as possible after a match.
• Players should agree on who will enter the score. When an unranked player wins against a ranked player, the unranked player must report the score.

Rules of Play

• Ladder matches are best-of-5 games.
• Games are scored to 11 points, each winning shot scores a point.
• Official rules are those of the England squash federation.
• Matches must be played with a standard yellow double-dot ball.
• Please advise reception when positions change on ladder.
