How it works:
- Form a team of 4 players ready to showcase their skills and teamwork.
- Engage in intense matches consisting of four games of doubles. In these games, teams will decide their pairings, ensuring strategic gameplay and camaraderie. Players should play with a different partner each match. For example,
- Match 1: P1 and P2
- Match 2: P3 and P4
- Match 3: P1 and P3
- Match 4: P2 and P4
- Each game is 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Each game is a fast-paced race to 15 points, demanding precision, strategy, and effective teamwork for victory. Teams need to win by 2 points.
- Should a tie arise (2-2 after the initial four games), the suspense escalates with a tiebreaker game, its format revealed upon registration, adding an extra layer of excitement.
1:1 Tiebreaker
- It's a singles match (one person vs. one person) to decide the winner.
- Each team sends out one player. Players switch out every four rallies (serves) until someone reaches 15 points and is ahead by two.
