Additional Information 

• Rules & Format

  • Each fixture plays all three Fast4+ Sets (first to 5 point tie-breaker will be played at 4-all)
  • All games play short deuce, which means no advantage is played
  •  Advantage Set: The team who loses the first set will have a 15-0 (or 0-15) advantage in the second set.  If the second set is lost by the team with the advantage they will have a 15-0 advantage in the final set.
  • If the score reads 1-set-all then the final set will start at 15-all
  • Over-time matches:  In some cases matches may go over time.  Depending on the score the official will either make the players split the final set (if they are even) or make them finish the match to a closer games target. For example, if its 2-1 in the final set the offical may say play first to 3 and if it goes to 2-all play a tie-breaker.
