General information

Participation fee is $10 (per person for doubles tournaments). Balls will be provided.
Weekday games will be played in the evening at between 5:15 PM and 9:45 PM. Weekend games may be scheduled between 9:00 AM. and 6:00 PM.
The format will be single knock-out. There will not be consolation rounds.

Match format

Except for the semi-finals and finals, all matches will be a pro set of first to eight games, winning by two games. If the score reaches 7-7, a regular tiebreak is played, the winner being the first to reach 7 points, winning by 2 points.
Semi-final and final matches will be two out of three sets. If tied at one set each, the third set will be a “super tiebreak”, that is, the winner is the first to reach 10 points, winning by 2 points.

Rules

Players are responsible for calls on their side of the net, and the opposing player/team must accept their decision. If there is any doubt, normal etiquette is to give the opponent the benefit of the doubt. Players should avoid replaying a point, though this is an option if both sides agree.
