Description
Teams compete against each other in Matches. A Match consists of four Games. The first two games are one women’s doubles game and one men’s doubles game, and then two mixed doubles games. If two teams are tied after these four games, the “DreamBreakerTM” is played, with a rotational system involving all four players. Teams first play each other in group or round-robin play, and then the top 4 teams square off in a playoff bracket format. There will be a match to determine 3rd place team. Regardless of outcome, all four games will be played in a match during round robin/group play. During bracket play, teams can opt out of playing the 4th game if one team has won the match with 3 consecutive game wins.

RALLY SCORING
A point is earned after every rally, whether it was won by the serving or receiving team. However, a team needs to win by two, on their serve, hence a temporary “freeze” can happen if the rally is won by the non serving team (their winning point would not count as they must serve to win). Trailing teams never freeze and continue rally scoring. If the score is tied, the rally scoring is in effect. To win, a team must win by two and must have served to win.
COIN TOSS
At the start of each match, there will be a coin toss (or similar random selection). The winner will make a choice between these three options:
● Choose to be either the Home or the Away team
● Choose to start each game serving or receiving
● Choose which end of the court to start Women’s Doubles
After the winner makes a choice, the loser will make a choice between the two remaining options. After the loser makes their choice, the winner will make a decision on the last option available.
