'ASA Ladder’ is an online sports network. ASA is the abbreviation for Association of Sport Amateurs.

The purpose of ASA Ladder is to allow its members to play against friends, meet new sport partners of similar level and get a better idea of their true level.

ASA Ladder has been historically present in Shanghai but has recently set-up new Ladders in Beijing, Hong Kong and Singapore. Members of different cities can challenge each other and play with each other whilst travelling.

ASA Ladder was founded by sport enthusiasts and aims to bring together sport communities in different locations. ASA Ladder provides a free platform for its members to compete regularly throughout the year and intends to continue providing this service for free.

Rules & Points
ASA Ladder uses the ITN rating system. Upon registration, players will select a rating ranging from ASA 1 (elite) to ASA 10.3 (beginner) and will be given a point capital according to their self-rating.

Players are ranked on ASA Ladder according to their number of points. Players’ rankings and ratings will adjust according to their match performances.
