Four different things put you in an order, one for each thing you can play.
Points for each result. Level on points, a tie-break your club picks decides it: here, Priya beat Sam. The table’s footer says which tie-break.
Worked out from the scores each time, so correcting one corrects the table. A tennis or padel club can rank on games won instead.
A number that is not tied to a season. Beat somebody above you and it goes up more. Your place is everybody’s ratings in order.
Everybody starts level, unless your club started the ladder from its boxes.
Not earned by results. Your organiser types it before the draw, for who they expect to go furthest, so the strongest meet as late as possible.
Leave the seeds blank and every line is drawn by lot.
The points your side won each round, added up. Highest total wins the night, unless a final decides it.
Nothing carries over to the next one.
Your level is something else: one measure of how good you are, from all four.
