Male adult members are invited to participate in a singles 'Pyramid' and compete in a relaxed fashion against other players.

The Pyramid will run, initially, from Monday, August 29th to Sunday, October 30th 2016.

If you are interested in joining the pyramid, please contact Bill Ledger (07816522161), giving your name and mobile number.

Players who competed in the recent 'Men's Singles Tournament' will be entered by default, unless they ask to be removed.

It is a condition of entry that players agree to their name and contact details being circulated to other competitors and / or displayed on the club website.

Pyramid Challenge

A Pyramid Challenge is similar to a Ladder, with the aim being the same as in a Ladder Challenge; that is, to get to the top. 

However, the Pyramid Challenge offers more possibilities to challenge one another and it is less likely to stagnate.

Players are placed within a pyramid shape.

Ranking is top - bottom, left - right. (The illustration shows positions 1 - 21)

Match format:

10 Game Pro Set (First to 10 games with a margin of 2 games. Tie break at 10 all).

There are two ways to challenge:

1. You can challenge ANY player to the LEFT of you.
2. You can challenge ANY player from the line ABOVE.

When the challenger wins, players swap positions; allowing for both horizontal and vertical shift.

If the challenged player wins there is no movement.

Players must:

• Organise their own challenges; to be played at a mutually agreed time and within 7 days of the challenge being accepted.
• NOT refuse a challenge from a player below. (Any challenge refused should be reported to the Challenge Organiser. A player who, without good reason, refuses 2 challenges will be relegated 3 places and the 3 players below them each promoted 1 place).
• NOT arrange additional challenges until after an accepted challenge is played.

At the end of the agreed time period:

The winner is the player at the top of the pyramid.

If there is sufficient interest, multiple pyramids will be arranged and the top / bottom 3 players will be promoted / relegated at the end of the time period.
