Ladders and Matches

Ladders are ongoing or time-based competitions where users compete to climb rankings. You may join existing ladders or create your own. When you participate in a ladder, you agree to:

  • Schedule and play matches in good faith
  • Report match results accurately and in a timely manner
  • Communicate respectfully with opponents
  • Adhere to the match deadlines to avoid forfeits

Ladder managers have authority over their respective ladders, including approving or denying requests, managing disputes, and determining player eligibility.

Premium Ladders and Payments

SportsLadders offers optional paid memberships and premium ladders. These features may include:

  • Enhanced ladder creation tools
  • Participation in prize-based ladders

All payments are processed via credit card. By making a purchase, you authorize us to charge your selected payment method. Fees are non-refundable unless otherwise specified in writing. We reserve the right to modify pricing or features of paid services at any time with prior notice.

For Premium Ladders, a portion of the collected funds is distributed as prizes. The ladder manager is entitled to a commission, and SportsLadders retains a fixed percentage for platform maintenance and processing.

Forfeits and Match Disputes

A forfeit occurs when a scheduled match is not played within the set time period. It is the responsibility of both players to coordinate match logistics. Unplayed matches may be resolved as forfeits unless evidence of a legitimate issue is presented.

If a dispute arises, users should contact the ladder manager first. If unresolved, you may report the issue to SportsLadders support for further review.
