Match Play
All games are rally point to 21. You do not need to win by 2. Round robin matches for all pools are 2 games with the exception of Co-Ed Division J, Men’s Division D and Women’s Division F. These divisions play 3 games.
Team captains are to report the scores to their court representative.
Teams are responsible to make calls, please be vigilant; Only team captains are to dispute calls or discuss issues with court reps.
1st game forfeited after 5 min and the match after 10 min. We will follow this closely!!!
Matches are to start at the scheduled start time or immediately after the previous match during delays. No on court warm ups will be allowed. Teams are encouraged to warm up off the court before the end of the previous match. Captains should check with court reps shortly before their match time to confirm to the official that your team is ready to jump on the court next.
Determining Playoffs
The playoff schedule will be posted as it is available.
Quarterfinals are 2 games and semis and finals are best of three (3rd game is to 15). Again, you do not need to win by 2.
The final positions within the round robin will be determined by the total number of points accumulated by each team. The top team will be the one with the most points and so on. If two or more teams are equal in points, the next determining factor will be the total wins and losses between the tied teams. If still tied, the record from the match of the tied teams. The next determining factor will be their total points for/points against. Finally, if none of the above methods are able to determine the final positions, a coin toss will be used.
Points in a pool of 4 teams will be multiplied by 12/8 to compare against a pool of 5 teams.
Points in a pool of 6 teams will be multiplied by 12/15 to compare against a pool of 5 teams.
In case of an equal split in the playoffs – a short rally point game to 5 will be played.
