4. How do I move up the rankings?
It's real simple - you move up for playing games and winning. You move down for not playing games and losing. You're placed at the bottom of the Rankings when you join and you may challenge anyone from Day 1. You move up a maximum of 3 spots if you win your challenge. If you are challenged and lose, you move down one spot. No ranking change occurs if a challenge is unsuccessful. You can also move up and down the ladder simply by the number of games you play (see Two-Week Rule below).

5. How do I challenge an opponent?
Challenging opponents is easy! Just challenge anyone in the rankings to a game using our friendly system. If your opponent accepts your challenge, you will pick the time and location of your match, after your match, you will enter the result to the organizers.

6. What do I do when I am challenged?
When you are challenged you will receive an email from your opponent through our system. You will then respond to the email with your preferred time and location of play. Failure to accept or reject the challenge in the system will result in an automatic drop in the rankings.

7. How often and where do we play?
You may play as often as you like, and you and your opponents choose the time of your games. Challenger attempts to play at the higher-ranking player's chosen location within the local location of the Rankings.

8. Who brings the balls?
HILTON TOKYO will supply the tennis balls.

9. What happens if my scheduled game is canceled?
Please re-schedule your game at a time that works for both players. If both of you cannot agree on another time, simply cancel the match from your My Ladder and no ranking change will occur.
