Player development

Level play & advancement.

Balanced Level Play remains the foundation of club programming, with Competitive Scored Play (ALPS) and Advancement Sessions providing clear pathways for members who wish to move up.

Ways to play

Balanced play with room to progress

Level Play

Our primary playing format. Members book sessions at their Legacy Level for balanced, enjoyable games with players of similar ability.

Competitive Scored Play (ALPS)

Used primarily at the higher playing levels to measure competitive performance and consistency over time. Club ALPS ratings can move up or down based on scored results.

Legacy Levels

Used for Level Play bookings. Legacy Levels do not move downward solely because of ALPS results, while advancement occurs through the club’s approved pathways.

Two pathways

How advancement works
