Join a ladder

Joining a ladder is free for players. Some organizers charge an entry fee for their ladder, and you will see it before you pay.

Find a ladder

In the app, open the Discover tab. Share your location or search by city to see ladders near you. Each card shows the ladder name, place, distance, player count, and how active it is, such as "12 matches this month". You can switch between a list and a map.

On the website, go to Discover or browse cities from For Players.

Join

1. Open the ladder.
2. Tap Join.
3. If the ladder has an entry fee, complete payment in the Pay sheet.

You now appear in the standings and can start challenging players.

Invite links and QR codes

Private ladders can only be joined by invitation. If your organizer emailed you an invite, open the link and you join that ladder. If a friend shows you a ladder QR code, tap Scan QR in Discover and you land on the ladder, ready to join.

When a ladder is full

A ladder at its player limit may still have room for you. If the organizer's club has not yet used its free 30-day trial of the Community plan, the button still reads Join. Joining adds you right away and starts that trial for the club, so go ahead and tap it.

If the ladder is genuinely full, the button reads Join the waitlist. You will get an email when a spot opens. You can leave the waitlist at any time from the ladder menu.

Doubles ladders

On a doubles ladder, tap Join as a team, search for your partner, and add an optional team name. Your team shares one position, and either partner can challenge and report scores.

Leaving a ladder

Open the ladder menu and choose Leave ladder. You will be asked to confirm.
