  MTG Summer Ladder: Play More, Climb Higher

  The MTG Summer Ladder is back—ready to turn your “I’ll just rally” plans into a full-blown ranking obsession. This flexible singles league lets players set their own matches, explore courts across the tri-state, and log results all summer long. Win when you can, chase who you must—and come September, the top 8 players in each division advance to playoffs to battle it out for the title.

  Eligibility & Registration

  • Who Can Play: Active MTG members only (yes, this is your sign)

  • Registration: After registering, an email invite will be sent to join the ladder hosted on Global Tennis Network

  • Rolling Admission: Join at any point during the season—commitment is flexible, your record is not

  Season Structure

  • Season Dates: April 15, 2026 → September 7, 2026

  • Playoffs: Top 8 players in each division qualify for September playoffs to determine the champions

  • Weekly Match Limit: Up to 3 matches per week count toward standings

  • Weekly Window: Each playing week runs Sunday → Saturday

  Match Play & Format

  • How Matches Work: Coordinate with opponents, agree on time/place/format, play, then log scores online like it absolutely mattered

  • Flexible Match Formats (because public courts keep everyone humble)

  • • Pro set to 8 games (tiebreak at 7–7)

    • Best of 3 sets (final set = full set or tiebreak)
      

  Levels & Placement

  • Divisions
