Description:
The “Competitive Match Rankings” system is designed for players looking to enhance their match-play preparation. It places a large focus on playing a large quantity of matches, with a smaller focus on the result of the match. Through the rankings created, we decide upon who is eligible for our high performance programs at the club.
