NEW
TIEBREAK PROCEDURE - ALL LEAGUES |
|
All tie breaks (set and/or match
tiebreaks) in local league matches will follow the Coman
tiebreak format.
You will sides after the first point
is played then after every 4 points (point totals of 1,
5, 9, 13, etc.). Remember, you always change when
the tiebreak score total is odd each time you change.
Please inform all your players.
Even though you play out the full
third set for the adult and senior leagues, you will use
the Coman tiebreak procedure at the end of any set which
reaches 6-all.
In mixed league, you play a third set
match tiebreak in lieu of the third set. The
tiebreak is played following the Coman format.
