How it works
Introducing the Charlotte Metro Pickleball Ladder!
Team up with your favorite partner and challenge other pickleball teams in the Charlotte area for a chance to make the final 4 and win some awesome prizes. For those that play or have played tennis, the ladder format is an extremely popular option for social and competitive play as it allows you to get out and many other players in your area and at the same time, have fun competitive games. Our easy-to-use ladder mobile app makes it easy to challenge other teams, accept challenges, report scores, and more.

Propose & Play
You set the time, date, and location of when you want to play. Matches can either be proposed that teams can accept based on day/time or you can issue a direct challenge to a team.
.
Mobile App
A mobile app that makes scheduling and scoring as easy as one, two, three. Organize your own matches based on your schedule, play the match, and record your scores directly into the app as soon as your match is finished.
Real-time Rankings
Your team will earn points for playing a match based on the number of games you win vs played. There is also a degradation factor if you don't play at least one match a week. A min of 8 matches is required to qualify for finals.
Do you have what it takes to make the Final Four?
The Top 4 Teams at the end of each session will battle it out in a round-robin format for the ultimate grand prize and the Gold medal! We are working now to secure some food/beer trucks and a centralized location for the season-ending tournament which will also include open play for everyone to enjoy.
Medals Awarded
The top three teams in each division will all be awarded medals (Gold, Silver, Bronze) based on the results of the Round Robin Finale.

$50 Gift Card
The team with the overall best winning percentage of Total Games Won / Total Games Played (min 8 matches played) across all divisions will receive a $50 gift card (2x) from Pickleball Central

What Makes Us Different?
We all know pickleball is growing extremely fast all over the place. We feel it's a great time to introduce something to allow fo Charlotte Area pickleball players have many different options to play in leagues, other ladders, and intraclub matches. So why join the QC Doubles Ladder?
- Our ladders will focus on the SOCIAL aspect of tennis. Who wants to play with the same partner over and over? The great thing about this sport is meeting new players. All of our ladders allow you to play in a doubles format with a different partner and set of opponents each and every match!
- Our ladder program is based on mobile-first technology. Use our mobile app to quickly receive text alerts of new match proposals, accept proposals, report scores, and more! No more out-of-date and antiquated websites to navigate.
- Real-Time rankings. Gone are the days of rankings coming out once per week. Get points as soon as match results are recorded.
- One account forever. No more recreating a new account each and every season you wish to play. Coming soon will be stats, graphs, and more so you can track your progress.
