Leap Frog Plus: This system is the based on the classic Leap Frog system, but awards points to both the winner and loser. This encourages teams to play more matches to maintain their ladder ranking. The number of points a team can received is based on the match format. If the team were playing a regular 3 set match, the most they could receive is 39 points. This is because 39 is the maximum number of games that could be played in a 3 set match (7-6,6-7,7-6). Here is how it works for a Best of 3 format:

1. If the winner is the higher ranked team, they receives 39 points minus the number of games the loser won.
2. If the winner is the lower ranked team, their new points will be the points of the loser, plus 39 points minus the number of games the loser won..
3. The losers always receives 1 point for each game that they win.
