Every ladder, by country, region and city
A tennis ladder is a standing ranking of local players. You challenge someone a few rungs above you, play whenever suits you both, and the winner takes the higher rung.
This page is the whole map: every ladder Deuce runs, in one list. Countries first, regions inside them, cities inside those. You can read all of it before we know your name.
The directory
Every ladder's standings are public, no account needed.
Active means a match played in the last 30 days.
The waitlist, in full
Your email, plus where you play. The promise is narrow on purpose: one email, sent when a ladder opens near you, then nothing. That list also tells us which city to help launch next, which is why the form asks where you play and never asks for your phone number.
How joining works
Find your city and open the ladder.
Standings, rules, season dates and every played match are public, at a permanent URL you can send to a friend.
Read the numbers.
Active players and matches played in the last 30 days sit on every ladder, zeros included. The numbers tell you whether it is alive before you commit to anything.
Join with an email.
Joining means someone can challenge you, so we need a way to reach you. That is the entire reason for the field, and it is the last step, never the first.
