How the ContactFrame tennis skill rating works
A rating built from confirmed results, not a level you pick yourself.
ReadLocal tennis ladder · UK
Find tennis players at your level, join local leagues and tournaments, and give every match something on the line.
Rankings update after every confirmed result.
Why the ladder works
A skill rating built from confirmed results, not a level you pick yourself. Every match adjusts it.
Leagues, tournaments and friendlies in your area, matched to your level.
See where you stand at your home court, in your area, your city, your county, your region and the UK.
Find tennis courts near you, check availability, set your home court and see who plays there.
The player with the most wins at a court holds it. Every tennis court has a crown.
How it works
The ladder is not another booking app. It is a competitive local tennis ladder.
Your tennis court anchors your local ladder and your nearest competitions.
Join a league, tournament or friendly at your level.
Both players confirm the score. Every result counts.
Your rank moves from your court to your city, county, region and country.
Two ways to compete
Join a league and you are sorted into a division by Skill, with its own table and its own chat.
One table per division: every confirmed result moves it, so you always know where you stand.
A knockout draw seeded by Skill, with the first round drawn close to home and a deadline on every round.
No stalled draws: a match still unplayed at the round deadline is decided at random, and the result says so.
