COMPASS LADDER GUIDELINES:
Players will be categorized onto courts based on their skill levels. However, being on the top court doesn't guarantee winning the compass ladder. Each court will host three games; players switch partners for every game. These games will be played to 15 points, rally scoring, with a win by a margin of 1, within a maximum timeframe of 15 minutes.
After the three games on each court, points for each player will be tallied. The two players with the highest points will move up, while the two with the lowest will move down—a single round completed. We'll repeat this process for two rounds in total.
Ultimately, after two rounds, the total points accumulated by each player will determine the winner. The maximum possible points a player can achieve throughout the tournament will be capped at 90 (15 points x 3 games x 2 rounds). This structure aims to offer a fair and competitive environment while rewarding consistent performance across all rounds.
