*** THIRD SET MATCH TIE BREAK WILL BE USED ***
Due to the large number of entries, over 200, the tournament will use the match tie break in place of the third set to insure that play will be completed within a reasonable time frame. If opponents split the first two sets, a 10 point match tie break will be used to determine the winner of the third set, and the match. The match tie break winner is the first side to 10 points by a margin of two. There is no break after the second set, no one may leave the court. Play shall be continuous. It is considered a new set, so doubles teams may change sides or serving orders, as with any other new set.
