Format

A round robin mixed doubles competition, played as 15min rounds on a rotational basis, swapping partners between rounds.

At the end of the evening scores are tallied the winners are the male and female players who win the most games overall.

• 15-minute rounds:  Players try to win as many games as they can in the allotted time.  Rounds are started and ended with a klaxon.
• At Round End:  When the klaxon sounds whichever pair is leading the game wins the game regardless of the games score.
• No advantage scoring: If the game score is deuce, it’s a sudden death point to finish the game with receiving pair choosing who will receive the serve.
• Tied Score: If the score is tied at the end of the round, a sudden death point is played to finish that game with receiving pair choosing who will receive the serve.
• No Lets Played:  If the serve clips the net and lands in the service box, there’s no let and the ball is in play.
• Changing partners:  At the end of each round losers move down towards court 3, winners move up towards court 1 and new pairings are formed by playing a different end and partner.
