Metropolitan Tennis Group's most popular and social competition of the summer.

Overview

The Summer Ladder is a season-long singles competition where players challenge each other, schedule matches on their own time, and earn points based on performance.

It’s one of MTG’s most exciting annual events — a perfect mix of friendly competition, community building, and great tennis. Whether you're here to compete, connect, or just play more matches, the ladder is designed to fit your schedule and your style.

Ladder Structure

• Two divisions: 3.0 & below and 3.5 & above
• Placement based on your NTRP rating
• Season-long format with rolling rankings based on points
• Top players advance to playoffs at the end of the season

How It Works

• Challenge any player on the ladder — no ranking restrictions
• Coordinate match time and location directly with your opponent
• Play matches throughout the week (Sunday–Saturday)
• Earn points for playing, winning, sets, and games

This is a flexible, player-driven format — you decide when, where, and who you play.

Match Formats

Players may agree on any of the following formats:

• Best of 3 full sets
• Best of 3 sets with a 10-point tiebreak instead of a third set
• Pro-set format (short sets, win by 2)

Note: Scores must be entered correctly based on the format played.
