How to play Serve Zone Ladder

Step 1

The server calls the current zone before serving.

Step 2

A legal serve into the called zone clears that rung.

Step 3

A miss keeps the server on the same rung.

Step 4

Rotate after the attempt set or when the ladder is cleared.

Guide details

Scoring

How the result works

Each cleared zone scores 1 rung.

Example: A server calls wide on the deuce court, lands it, and moves to the body zone.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Counting a serve that lands in the box but outside the called zone.

Safety: Only one server swings at a time and everyone collects balls before the next attempt set.
