Austin Tennis Net

Pros:
–the price is the best, very affordable
–you get to play matches
Cons:
–the politics of the ladder can get a little too much at time. It isn’t as simple as you win you move up and you lose you move down.
–some players seem to receive favoritism when it comes to placement on the ladder
–Other players have very limited availability or don’t respond timely to emails
Overall, if you looking to play matches and are willing to be patient this is a great resource to play tennis. Just keep it in perspective.

I have played on this ladder for nine years and it is great. When you win you move up, lose you go down — eventually you will find great matches every time. Some people respond slowly — that is not the fault of the organizer. $ 10 /​year — singles and doubles — cannot beat that. There is a new round (new opponents) every three weeks or so — just enough time to schedule and play your matches — the ladders are staggered so that you can play both doubles and singles. I honestly do not know howit could be better.

Yeahhhh after being on this ladder for some time, I find it difficult to get good competition. There aren’t very many players available for challenges, some people take FOREVER to respond to you and will make you nearly have to forfeit because of «scheduling» (HELLO I EMAILED YOU A WEEK AND A HALF AGO!) Additionally, I took a one round break from the ladder and now have come in 5 rungs lower than when I left. ONE ROUND break!

Very badly organized. Its hard to get up on the ladder but the owner John Kitchens makes sure he goes up on the ladder after every round. John is not open to suggestions. His approach is my way or the highway.
