Tournament Scoring
All matches will be no-ad scoring and short sets to 4 instead of 6. A 10-point tiebreaker will be played in lieu of a third set. "No ad" means that at 3 points all (deuce), the receiver picks the side for the serve and the winner of the point wins the game. A "short set to 4" means that you can win a set 4-0, 4-1, 4-2, or 5-3. At 4-4 a regular 7-point tiebreaker is played to decide the set.
