WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

Format and Rules

Singles and Doubles round-robin matches will be a single set to 6 with a 7 point tiebreak at 5 all if required.

All matches will be a maximum of 40 minutes in duration.

If a match is incomplete at the 40 minute mark the player or team that is ahead wins.

If games are tied a sudden death point is played with the server being the person who is serving or due to serve the next point.

Standard round robin rules following pre-set GLTA default software settings apply. Players advance on match, set and game difference in that order.
