Autumn Ladder 2018

Monday‑Wednesday Ladder

Autumn 2018 Ladder—from Monday 3 September through Wednesday 12 December Inclusive

The most obvious change from previous years in this year’s ladder is that Friday results are not included. You need to play with fewer partners and in fewer sessions to qualify compared with previous years.

Ladder ranking is by average of your six best scores on Monday and Wednesday sessions over this 14‑week period. In addition, you need to play

  • in at least three Mondays,
  • in at least two Wednesdays,
  • in at least one more Monday or Wednesday session,
  • and with at least three different partners.

Any duplicates scored by IMPs are converted to percentages for ladder purposes; the Cross‑IMPs page explains how.

The club is cutting its coat according to its cloth and providing a prize fund of about £1.00 per player per Monday or Wednesday duplicate. At the conclusion of the ladder on 12 December 2018 there have been 396 player duplicates. Just three players met all the criteria above. The remaining players are ordered by descending average of up to their best six scores.
