Rules
Rules: We are playing with Lifetime Balls. Each four-person team will play in a round robin, the number of games in round robin play will be dependent on the number of entries/teams per division. The round robin play will allow for team seeding which will then be followed by single elimination bracket play. The top two teams from each pool will move on to elmination play. YOU CAN PLAY ON BOTH DAYS! FORM A TEAM FOR SATURDAY, THEN PLAY UP AND TEST YOUR SKILLS ON SUNDAY! You just can't play down, no one likes sandbagging. The games will be to 11 win by 1, traditional scoring. Each match between teams will consist of a women's doubles game then a men's doubles game, followed by two mixed doubles games. Whichever team has more wins after these 4 games will win the match. If there is a tie of 2-2, the teams will play a Dreambreaker where each team puts together a lineup of their four players. The first player from each team will play four singles points, then switch to the second player in the Dreambreaker lineup and so on. The teams will play singles to 21, rally scoring, win by 2. The winner of the Dreambreaker wins the match. If a team is up 3-0, you will still play the 4th game as it will contribute to point differential and wins that will determine seeding.
