Western Regional Park was a great venue for this years HCPA Open Ladder League. Twenty-four participants took to the courts each week. The league format initially divided players onto six dedicated courts based on their DUPR ratings. Foursomes at each court rotated partners for a total of three games to make up a round. After each round, the top two players moved up a court, and the other two moved down a court. Two rounds were played each week for a total of 6 games. The games were played to 15 points or 15 minutes whichever occurred first. Ties were broken by an exciting one-point Rally scoring tiebreaker!
League participants shared positive feedback and compliments regarding the Ladder League organization and format and stated that they learned important skills while having a good time.
Thank you to Troy Osten as the Competitions Committee Chair, and to Hitesh Nigam and Eric Chiprurnoi as the Co-Chairs of this Open Ladder League. A big thanks also to the substitute players who filled in to ensure we had enough players every week.
Congratulations to Troy Osten and Krupesh Patel who finished at the top of the ladder.
Reminder: The next league will be a Mixed Doubles league in JAN-FEB and is indoors at The Putaway in Millersville, MD. Signups are open now on the Stack TeamApp!
