The service

Club Ladder reads public data from Lichess and chess.com and shows it in ladders that coaches create. It's provided as is. I work to keep it accurate and running, but numbers can be hours behind and either site can change its API.

The Club pass

A one-time card payment. I sell it; Stripe only processes the card and emails you a receipt. It removes the 15-player limit and adds seasons, weekly posts, downloads and a ladder color, on every ladder you apply it to, for as long as the site runs. One pass is for one coach or one club.

Refunds

Ask within 14 days of buying for a full refund. No reason needed. See refunds.

Your ladders

You're responsible for who you add. Add members of your own club or class, use first names and a last initial for children, and keep a children's ladder unlisted. You can remove any player or delete a ladder at any time.

Fair use

Don't use ladders or the API to track people who haven't joined your club, and don't scrape the site faster than a person would browse it.

Not affiliated

Club Ladder isn't affiliated with Lichess, chess.com, ChessKid or any club. Benchmarks and the rating comparison are statistics from the players I track, not official conversions.

Shutting down

If the site ever closes, I'll post a notice here at least 30 days before, and Club pass holders can download their ladders.
