Team Format
Teams of 4 players are broken into divisions based on their total combined DUPR rating to compete against each other in four 15-point games.
If a division has fewer than four, it may be combined with another closely matched group.
Team Match Structure (4 Doubles Games)
* Each player competes twice with different partners
* No player may have the same partner twice within a round.
* Each player must play once in G1/G2 and once in G3/G4
* If games are tied 2-2, tie break will be a 15 point Singles Showdown (singles points, rotating players every 4 rallies).
Scoring, Timing & Warm‑Up
* Rally scoring to 15, win by 2; switch at 11
* Timeouts: One 1‑minute timeout per game; 1‑minute side‑change timeout.
* Continuous points: no freeze; no win‑on‑serve requirement.
* Pool play: All four games are played regardless of the team match score.
Pools, Seeding & Finals
* Pool Play: Round‑robin pool play within division pool. There may be multiple pools per division.
* Seeding will be based on aggregate Team DUPR.
* Finals: Teams seeded #1 & #2 after pool play compete for Gold/Silver. Teams seeded #3 & 4 compete for Bronze/4th. Seeding based on pool play results.
Team Formation
* Age/Skill Teams may consist of 4 players of any gender combination.
* At time of registration, each player’s DUPR will be added together to determine the total team DUPR for division assignment. Two weeks prior to event competition, NJP will review total Team DUPRs and reserves the right to make division adjustments if a Team’s DUPR aggregate changes significantly.
