| The New Chiswick Bridge Club Ladder |
 |
Everyone who plays in the duplicates at New Chiswick Bridge Club participates in the Club Ladder. Your Ladder score is the percentage by which you beat 50% in any week's duplicate. Accumulate Ladder points by playing regularly.
At the end of each cycle the current Ladder leader receives a £40 prize. After receiving their prize, each winner will then be given a handicap sending them back down the field. All other players' scores carry forward, leaving the erstwhile winner to play catch up if they hope to repeat their feat. You can win more than once but each time you win your handicap becomes greater. In this way all those who play regularly will in their turn stand a chance of winning.
