Round-Robin Scoring

1. NO-AD Pro-Sets — Each Flight will be assigned to play
   6-game, 8-game or 10-game No-Ad Pro-Sets. All
   players/teams in the Flight must play each other to
   complete the round-robin.
2. Game Scoring — The first player/team winning 4 points
   wins the game. In Singles and Doubles when a game is
   tied 3-3, the receiver chooses which side to receive
   (Deuce or Ad). In Mixed Doubles, men/boys serve to each
   other and women/girls serve to each other when a game
   is tied 3-3.
3. 7-Point Tiebreak — A 7-point set tiebreak will be played
   at 5-5 for a 6-game pro-set, 7-7 for an 8-game pro-set, or
   9-9 for a 10-game pro-set — using the Coman format
   (see Page 4 ).
   The 7-Point Set Tiebreak is first to 7 points, win by 2.
   • The player whose turn it is to serve will serve one
   point, starting from the Deuce side.
   • Thereafter, each player/team serves in rotation for
   2 points (Ad side, then Deuce side).
   • Change ends of the court after the first point, then
   after every 4 points.
4. Advancing to the Finals — The top 2 players/teams
   based on win/loss record from each flight advance to the
   Finals (or the top player/team from a split flight – a large
   flight that was split into two groups).
5. Tie in Standings — In the case of a tie in standings, the
   players/teams advancing to the Finals will be decided, in
   order, by:
   (1) head-to-head results
   (2) games won
   (3) fewest games lost.
   If still tied, a random drawing will be used.

Finals Scoring

1. Scoring — Finals are 2 out of 3 sets, Ad scoring, with a 10-point
   super-tiebreak for the third set (first to 10, win by 2) .
2. Set Tiebreaks — Set Tiebreaks will be first to 7, win by 2.
   The 7-Point Set Tiebreak is first to 7 points, win by 2.
   • The player whose turn it is to serve will serve one point,
   starting from the Deuce side.
   • Thereafter, each player/team serves in rotation for 2
   points (Ad side, then Deuce side).
   • Change ends of the court after the first point, then after
   every 4 points.
3. Coman Tiebreak — All Finals tiebreaks will use Coman format.
   • The player/team who would serve next in the rotation
   will serve first. The first server begins from the deuce
   court and serves one point.
   • Thereafter, each player/team serves in rotation for 2
   points (Ad side then Deuce side), until the winner has
   been decided.
   • Players/teams change ends after the first point, then
   after every four points.
   • If the first set ended in a tiebreak, then the player/team
   that received first in the tiebreak will serve first in the
   second set.
   • The 3rd Set (10-point super-tiebreak) is treated like a
   new set, therefore either player on a doubles or mixed
   doubles team may serve first.
4. Finals Scores — Both players/teams please report scores to
   the Tournament Desk upon completion of each match.
