A tournament arrangement whereby participants are ranked in order of estimated strength with the best one at the top of the ranking and with any participant permitted to challenge either of the 2 participants immediately above him. If the challenger wins, he moves up to occupy the place held by the one he defeated. The defeated player takes the place in the ranking occupied by the player who challenged and defeated him.  3, fiche 2, Anglais, - ladder%20tournament

Often, when a challenger defeats another participant 2 rungs above, he will take the defeated player's place, and then both the defeated player and the player in between drop a rung.

The ladder tournament is best suited to long-term play (as in tennis) as a method of maintaining a continuous ranking of participants.  3, fiche 2, Anglais, - ladder%20tournament
