SCORING and FORMATS
Regular Scoring
Format for Singles and Doubles: For all matches except Finals: Best of 2 TB sets with Match Tiebreak played at 1 set all. FINALS for all divisions (except M65-80) will play a 3rd set instead of a Match tiebreaker. For M65-80 the 3rd set would be optional for the FINAL if both players agree prior to the start of the match.
Singles matches and Mixed Doubles will play a First Match Losers Consolation. There will be no consolation rounds for any gender doubles. If you lose your first match played, out of courtesy to your opponent please notify Cheryl Helton if you don't intend to play the consolation.
We will also try to accommodate any gender doubles who would like to play a nonsanctioned match after losing out of your draw. There will sign up board at the tournament desk.
