GC Ladder 2025

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 four 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 gameIf player with higher ranking points winsIf player with lower ranking points wins

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.

GC Ladder 2023

This is different from the GC ladder 2022 in two respects:

  • Games are played to Advantage Rules to make it attractive to newer players.
  • It uses an Egyptian ladder format where beating someone higher up the ladder brings you more points than beating someone nearby.

Like the ladder from last year:

  • 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. 
  • These are qualifying games so both players must enter them on their handicap cards.
  • 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.

GC Ladder 2022

This is a continuation of the ladder started in 2020

A player on the ladder may challenge any player above them. A player not yet on the ladder may challenge anyone who is on the ladder or anyone who is not.

Either player can enter the result. The ladder will then be updated automatically. If the challenger wins he takes the ladder position of the loser’s position and all below move down one place. If a game is entered between two players not yet on the ladder they are added at the bottom with the winner first.

A player on the ladder may challenge any player above them. A player not yet on the ladder may challenge anyone who is on the ladder or anyone who is not. If your name is not on the ladder please email Steve Fisher.

Instructions

The challenge is resolved by a single 13 point level play game. After the game:

Whatever the result both players must enter it on their handicap card using the level play table to determine index changes.

When a challenge is made the game should normally be played within one week. The challenger should offer a reasonable number of time-slots. If the person challenged cannot play within a week without good reason (holiday, illness etc) they should be prepared to concede the game to the challenger (entering a notional score of 1-0) which affects the ladder – but there is no record to be added to the handicap card.
