Format and match play
- Warm-up and time: each match starts with a 5-minute warm-up, then 60 minutes of play. When the bell rings, finish the rally in progress and the match is over.
- Team order: before the match, pick your order (players 1 to 4). That order sets how partners rotate.
- Rotation: partners switch every 10 points: 1 & 2 → 2 & 3 → 3 & 4 → 4 & 1 → back to 1 & 2.
- Match points: every 10-point mark (each switch) is a match point, and these count toward bonus scoring. If match points are tied at the end, the tie-break rules apply.
Team value, reserves and penalties
- Section minimums: teams must meet the minimum league value for their section (A, B, C or D).
- Reserves and injuries: if you bring in a reserve, the team’s total value must still be at or above the section minimum. If not, penalty points apply.
- Three players: if someone is missing or injured, the 4th player is given the average value of the other three when working out the team total.
Sections and tie-breaks
- Pools: teams are grouped into pools and play every other team in their pool.
- Playoffs: after the pool matches, teams are seeded into finals or playoffs by their placing.
- Tie-breaks: if two teams have the same number of match wins, ranking is decided by (1) head-to-head result, then (2) total points across all matches. If more than two teams are tied, the highest total points across all matches wins.
Scoring and match sheets
- Mark every 10-point mark on the match sheet. These matter for bonus scoring.
- If match points are tied when time runs out, both teams get a bonus. If one team leads at the match-point marks, that team gets extra bonus points.
- Record penalties (value shortfall, missing players and so on) clearly on the match sheet.
Things to remember
- Be ready: matches run on time, and warm-ups, swaps and changeovers all count.
- Stick to the order you declared at the start. No swapping once the match begins.
- Respect the bell: finish the rally in progress, then no new rallies.
- Bring the energy and some neon or 80s flair. Let’s make it legendary.
