Draw Format
All singles draws are compass draws. Draws divided into four separate compass draws which are named after the Grand Slam tournaments. The winners of the singles main draws will advance to play one additional playoff round. Doubles draws are round robins and have also been split into four separate draws.
|
Scoring Format
For all singles matches, a short set will be played using regular scoring. This means the first person who wins four games wins that set, provided there is a margin of two games over their opponent. If the score reaches four games all, a 7 point tie-break game shall be used. All singles matches will also use a timed format. This means the winner of the match will be determined by who wins the short set, or who has the most games or points after the 22 minute time limit.
For doubles matches, a short set will be played and no-ad scoring will be used. All matches will also use a timed format. This means the winner of the match will be determined by who wins the short set, or who has the most games or points won after the 18 minute time limit.
