The only pyramid scheme worth joining
Temper Dingles Pyramid is a summer-long tennis competition running April through September in Vienna, Austria. Find a partner, get a spot on the ladder, and challenge your way to the top.
HOW IT WORKS
Dingles is singles and doubles at the same time. Four players, two balls, two diagonal rallies starting simultaneously. The first rally to finish calls "Dingles!" and then the remaining ball goes live for a full-court point. Win both and you score.
It sounds complicated. It takes about five minutes to get it. And then you'll want to play it every week.
The Pyramid
Everyone starts with a position on the ladder. Challenge the teams above you, win, and take their spot. Lose and sit tight for a few days before going again. The team at the top by September 30th wins.
Not all challenges are open – you work your way up row by row.
Use this interactive pyramid to see exactly who can challenge who.
