Tournament news
We have a smaller participant level this year, we are taking entries through today. It is looking like we will be able to do first round consolation draw, some will be round robins, and some maybe even compass draws. This will allow participants to play more matches in the tournament regardless how they fair up in their match.

Scorring
Our scoring system has proven to work in past years where it has provided for competitive match play but not forever matches. We play two out of three sets and a super breaker instead of the third set. One difference from other places is in the first two sets, we play a no add games at the second deuce, with returning side getting to choose who returns, so another way of thinking is a maximum of 9 points in each game. This keeps our tournament running on time. In mixed doubles it is same gender serve to same gender on the no add point or game point, this is where the returning team does not pick who returns that point for it is decided for you.
