This is similar to the GC ladder of 2023 but one game in any form of GC: level, advantage or extra turns may be played. It uses an Egyptian ladder format where beating someone higher up the ladder brings you more points than beating someone nearby.
- Games may be played whether or not jumping is allowed.
- If jumping is allowed then these are qualifying games so both players must enter them on their handicap cards – otherwise they must not go on handicap cards.
- You may challenge any club member with a GC handicap to a game, regardless of whether they are on the ladder already or are yet to play their first game. If you cannot agree on the format of the game then the game cannot be played.
- To join in please send an email to dr.s.m.fisher@gmail.com to have your name entered, issue a challenge, play the game and one of you enters the result below. Results should be entered promptly for it all to work properly.
There is some more information on the Egyptian ladder below.

Details of the format
Each player is initially assigned 100 ranking points. If a player beats a player of the same ranking then three points are transferred from the loser to the winner. However beating a higher ranked player results in more points being transferred and vice versa. Winning or losing a game may change your handicap but this change has no impact on the ranking points
You may challenge any club member to a game, regardless of whether they are on the ladder already or are yet to play their first game. Failure to accept the challenge without good reason and to play the game within two weeks results in a maximum score being recorded for the challenger and 0 for the person who failed to play. Such results do not go on handicap cards as regular results would.
You must play a minimum number of games to win.
A player's position is determined by ranking points, then wins, then net wins (#wins – #losses).
The number of points transferred is given in the table below.
| Difference in ranking points before the game | If player with higher ranking points wins | If player with lower ranking points wins |
|---|---|---|
| 0-6 | 3 | 3 |
| 7-11 | 2 | 4 |
| 12+ | 1 | 5 |
The competition will be closed at midnight on the 31st August. Those in the lowest quartile of number of games played will be ineligible to win, otherwise the winner is the person at the top of the ladder.
