Welcome to the IPAB squash ladder! After a revived interest in squash from many of the institute members we thought a good way to encourage games between individuals was to put up a squash ladder. Although this has started with IPAB members, anyone working in KB is most welcome to join. Feel free to sign up on this site and you'll be automatically added. The site is pretty clean and self-explanatory; running a web based application to automate the ladder. It's also got some really nice features. For example, challenges are made online by clicking on anyone above you and the the players receive an email to notify them of when they need to play the match by. I hope you find it useful and good way to meet and play against new people. If you've any queries please contact me at T.J.T.Collins@sms.ed.ac.uk

You might have noticed that the ladder doesn't currently handle the results of people who have left the ladder particularly well. This is because they're taken off the database (and as a result their names are no longer recorded.) I'll be looking to fix this soon!

The IPAB Squash Ladder is officially up and running!

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.

This software is provided free of charge. To support further development of the ladder please consider making a donation. Thank you.
