The season

The season is designed for finding your fit.

Your level, your neighborhood, your kind of week. Twelve weeks with the same group is how you find it.

The Ladder

Challenge players above you in your division. Beat them and you take their spot. Each ladder sets its own rules, from how far up you can reach to how long you have to play.
