The experience
A ladder that rewards consistency
Every Thursday at 7:30pm, sixty-four players take their seats on the level-two stage for a three-hour scored session. Points count toward the season ladder — one bad night won't end you, but four good ones can put you in the final sixteen.
Seeding uses your first three weeks, so newcomers bracket against players at their own level instead of being fed to veterans. Finals run under lights on the stage with live scoring, commentary and a crowd that genuinely cares.

What makes it different
How the series works
Seeded brackets
Your first three weeks set a seed score. From week four you compete against players at your level — fair fights all the way down.
Live scoring
Overhead boards track every session in real time. Friends can follow your run from the members' bar.
Real prizes
Weekly winners take $200 in club credit; the season final pays $5,000, $3,000 and $1,500 across the podium plus prizes to sixteenth.
Streamed finals
The final sixteen play under lights with commentary — streamed to the members' area and replayed on Sundays.
How it works

"My first season I finished forty-first. Second season, ninth. The ladder is designed to be climbed — that's the point."
