Match Format. All matches played in this tournament will be played on a "rotation" basis.
Match Format. Before play commences in any set or rubber a shuttle shall be tossed into the air by any player; the side to which the shuttle “points” is deemed to be the winning side and has the choice to either serve or receive first or to choose which side of the court to begin on. The side that lost the initial shuttle toss can then make a choice on the remaining option. For example if the side that won the shuttle toss decide that they want to start the match from a particular side of the court then the other side will choose whether they want to serve or receive first. A match, and thus each fixture, shall consist of two teams, comprising of 4 gents (MD) or 4 ladies (WD) contesting six rubbers. A rubber is defined as the best of 3 sets with no setting. A set is won by the first side to reach 21, so it is possible to win a set 21-20. At the start of the match the teams will be entered on the scoresheet. Both teams should enter their teams ranked in order of merit (strongest player ranked #1, second strongest ranked #2 etc.). This order may not be changed for future matches where an order has been established. The order of rubbers played will follow that on the scoresheet (Appendix I) wherever possible. Players play with each other team member once, against the corresponding opposition players, as following: o Match 1 - Player 1 & Player 2 vs Player 1 & Player 2 o Match 2 - Player 3 & Player 4 vs Player 3 & Player 4 o Match 3 - Player 1 & Player 3 vs Player 1 & Player 3 o Match 4 - Player 2 & Player 4 vs Player 2 & Player 4 o Match 5 - Player 2 & Player 3 vs Player 2 & Player 3 o Match 6 - Player 1 & Player 4 vs Player 1 & Player 4 It is acceptable to alter the order of play so long as this is agreed at the start of the match by the captains for both teams. Play must commence within 15 minutes of the arranged time for the match. Failure by a team to be on court(s) and ready to play within those 15 minutes shall result in that team forfeiting any unfinished sets 21-0 at the end of the match. At the end of the match all of the scores and thus the final score and result shall be agreed by both team captains.
Match Format. All matches shall be the best of two sets, with regular scoring and a Set Tie-Break at six all in each set. In the event of split sets, a Match Tie-Break (first to 10 win by two) shall be played in lieu of a third set with no rest period or coaching allowed.
Match Format. All divisions and levels will play two sets with regular scoring and a 12-point set tiebreaker (first to seven by a margin of two) at six games all in each of those sets, if necessary. If the first and second sets are split, a match tiebreaker (first to ten by a margin of two) will be played in lieu of a third set. There will be no ball change.
