Ladder

A competitive system of rating players on a continuous basis. At tennis clubs or communities, where there are a number of players who regularly are available to play against each other, maintaining a ladder is an alternative, or sometimes an addition, to having a tournament. A board is kept up throughout the season on which all the players' names are posted, each on a separate nameplate that can be shifted up or down into a different slot, as the result of a lower listed player challenging a higher one and beating him.
