    THINGS TO NOTE
  • MatchUp software will calculate the point differential for each player based on the number of games won/lost and the score of each game.  The point differential will be used to determine the semi-final and final rounds for each level. In case of a tie, the number of games won will be used to break the tie.
  • The highest scoring 4 women and 4 men will advance to the Semi-Final and Final rounds in Advanced and Intermediate 3.5-39.  
  • The highest-scoring 8 players in the Intermediate 3.0-3.4 group will advance to the Semi-Final and Final rounds.
  • Medals will be awarded to top scorers at each level.
  • Each game will be 11 minutes; no extra time.
  • Regular scoring, first to 11, win by 2. Scores are recorded for each individual participant for each game. Report your scores to the tournament manager at your level.
  • Please pay attention to who you are supposed to be playing with, and on which court, to avoid mix-ups!
  • Have fun!
