This site is for facilitating 9 ball games at Mentor Graphics Corp in Wilsonville, Oregon. Challenges are made online and the challenger and challengee receive emails to notify them of when they need to play the match by. Reminders are sent out if the game is unplayed and if no result is recorded by a certain time the match is forfeited and the challenger wins!

The ladder administrator can modify certain parameters such as the challenge period and the 'grace' period for recording results of overdue games. Furthermore there is a mini content management system so that the ladder administrator can post messages and announcements such as this one here.

Squash ladder PHP is constantly being updated and requests from users for enhancements can often be accommodated. You can view the latest squash ladder PHP news on this link: squash ladder PHP news

There is also a support forum for the squash ladder program and enhancement requests can be made here: squash ladder enhancement requests

You will have noticed a points score appear next to player names on the rankings page (if logged in). This is a trial points rating system based on the classic Elo system. Players will be awarded points for winning and lose points for losing depending on how difficult the system calculates your opponent to be. It will take a few games to settle down the scoring system. Currently the rating is displayed for information purposes only but in future it will be possible to arrange the ladder ranking system around this points score.
