Match Format
Each team match consists of 18 points (12 singles plus six doubles). Singles matches will be best of three sets. Doubles matches will be an eight game pro-set tie break at eight all. Each singles match and doubles match including mixed doubles will count for one point. In the case of a 9-9 tie, the team that won the majority of the doubles matches will be declared the winner of the team match. In the case of a total tie (no majority winner of the doubles), the Section coach designates one boy and one girl to play a mixed doubles "Super Match Tie-Break" to determine the team match winner.
