The company
Who builds Deuce
Deuce Ladder runs tennis ladders: standing rankings where you challenge someone a few rungs above you, play, and swap places on the result. It is built by Beyond Border Group Ltd, a Hong Kong company founded by avid tennis players. We wanted more competitive matches than our clubs could arrange, so we built the thing that arranges them.
01 · On paper
The company
The name on the paperwork
Beyond Border Group Ltd, registered in Hong Kong. The company behind the site, the software, and every promise on this page.
Why it exists
The founders are avid tennis players who wanted five or six competitive matches a month, arranged without a group chat and 40 unread messages.
What it makes
The ruleset, the scoring model, and the software that runs them. The whole format, and the full ruleset.
02 · The principles
What we build on
You pick your opponent
Nobody assigns you one. We cap how far up you can reach and leave the choice with you.
Deadlines have consequences
Every window has an automatic outcome when it expires. A quiet opponent costs themselves a rung, not you a month.
Both players confirm the score
Only real scorelines count, and the penalty for faking one is published. How scoring works.
Standings stay public
Every ladder gets a public page. No login, no email wall. Browse all of them.
03 · Right now
Where we are right now
Deuce Ladder is pre-launch. No players yet, no ladders yet, and no traction number we can show you. We would rather say that than write a paragraph about a growing community. Every counter below is a live query against the database, and today it answers zero.
04 · The commitments
What we will never do
Catch us breaking one of these and write to us. We fix it, or we say why we were wrong to promise it.
Invent a count, or round zero up to "hundreds"
Put standings behind a paywall or a login
Hide behind a contact form with no published address
Quote a price we will not publish for everyone
Fake a testimonial or a shipping history
Hold your data hostage when you leave
05 · The definitions
How we count
Any number on this site that a reader could check has a definition.
Active player
At least one played match in the last 30 days. Not a signup, not a login.
Active ladder
At least one played match in the last 30 days. Created and never used does not count.
Matches played
Confirmed results only. A walkover is not a match.
Courts
Courts listed in the scope you are looking at, from public data.
The definitions are published now so they cannot be quietly loosened later, on some day when a bigger number would be more convenient. The rest of our data commitments are in the privacy policy.
