All womens groups were merged after week 2 of play.

• The challenger receives 2 extra points.
• Lower ranked player receives 10 extra points for beating a higher ranked plus points using the following formula: ((Difference in Points of Games) x (Difference in Ranks)) / 2.
• Tied in rank player received 15 extra points plus the difference in Points won by.
• Higher ranked player receives 15 extra points for beating a lower ranked player plus points for the difference in Points of Games.
• The loser of any match receives points equaling the number of Points won in all Games, but never more than 10 points.

• The winner of a match that is played against a player more than 10 positions away will receive the points as if the players are only 10 places apart.
• The point system has been designed to encourage activity by awarding points to both the winner and the loser. The number of points received by either player for a match is rounded up to the nearest whole number. As an example, suppose Ted, ranked 9, challenges and defeats Bill, ranked 5, with a score of 11-3, 1-11, 11-4 during week 7 of the ladder. Ted would receive 2 point for challenging, 15 points for the upset, and (5 x 4) / 2 = 10 bonus points for Points won, for a total of 27 points. Bill would receive 1 point for any Points won up to the maximum of 10 points for his loss.
• If there was no recorded Challenge then the player entering the match gets the challenge credit.
