Event Format and Schedule
(Initial starting times for each player are shown below)Format:
Men's Doubles & Mixed Doubles on Saturday
Women's Doubles, Women's Singles, and Men's Singles on Sunday
Each singles player or doubles team will play a minimum of 3 matches
All teams start in the A-draw. First round losers move to the C-draw, second round A losers move to the B-draw. Second round C losers move to the D-draw. A-draws will be limited to 32 teams maximum (24 for the women's singles and 16 for women's doubles). Registration closes when these limits are reached.
The "rally scoring" system will generally be used: if you win a rally, you get a point plus the serve; the game is to 21 pints and win by at least 2 points; if the score 29-29, the next point wins - the match will be the best two out of three games.
Any round robins will use single 30-point games (with no extensions) against each team in your group.
Feather Birds will be provided.
