10 games guaranteed.
First 3 games will be warm up games to 11 rally scoring, and not count towards the final standings. These games are to give everyone a chance to move up/down the ladder without affecting their point total/final standings. Essentially, if a really good player starts on the bottom court, or bad player on top court, then these three games will help regulate that. The warm up games will be winners move up & split/ losers move down & split.
The next 7 games will count toward point totals. Rally scoring to 21 (win by 2, win on serve, hard stop at 25) Winners move up and split, losers move down and split. Each team gets 1 time out per game.
When moving to the next court, players must play with a partner that they have not yet played with during this event. Also, the highest rated DUPR on the court must partner with the lowest rated DUPR, if the highest/lowest DUPR rated players have already played together then the highest rated player will play with the second lowest rated player.
Point totals for wins will count as follows:
Court 7: 1.7 points (top court)
Court 6: 1.6 points
Court 5: 1.5 points
Court 4: 1.4 points
Court 3: 1.3points
Court 2: 1.2 points
Court 1: 1.1 points (bottom court)
Losses will count as face value. For example: Team A beats Team B on court 7, 21-19. Each player on Team A gets 35 points, each player on Team B gets 19 points. Team C beats Team D on court 1, 21-10. Each player on Team C gets 23 points, each player on Team D gets 10 points.
After the 7 official games are completed, point totals will be added up, the top 4 players will go into a championship round of 3 games, same format, each of the top 4 players will play with/against each person and the highest point total at the end will be declared the winner and receive $1000. all points in this final round will count at face value and not be multiplied.
None of these games will be entered into DUPR unless all 4 players agree and report the score to our club.
Between the warm up games and point total games every player will have ample opportunity to reach the top court.
