Sign-up Process:

  1. Each player can sign up on his own and be assigned a partner or sign up with a partner.
  2. A signup sheet will have 2 slots for each team. If you sign up with one name – the next person to sign up single will be your partner.
  3. Each sign-up allows you 3 tries with 3 different partners to get to table 4.

Scoring:

  1. A match will be first to 11 points. (at 10 all the next point wins the match)

Serving and Receiving:

  1. Youngest player on the court serves first.
  2. The server can serve from any side of the table (server choice) and must serve cross-court.
  3. Each player serves twice. Alternating teams. So player 1 from team 1 serves twice then player 1 from team 2 serves twice then player 2 from team 1 servers twice and player 2 from team 2 serves twice then we start over.
  4. The receiving team must remain in the same position as their last serve. Only the serving team can rotate positions.

Format:

  1. Each player must alternate hitting the ball. If the same player hits the ball twice in a row the point will go to the opposing team (No points will be repeated).
  2. Table Rotation.
    1. Table 1:
      1. The team that wins will progress to table 2.
      2. The team that loses that match will be eliminated and have the option to re-enter the tournament (up to 3 times).
    2. Table 2:
      1. The team that wins will progress to table 3.
      2. The team that loses that match will be eliminated and have the option to re-enter the tournament. (up to 3 times).
    3. Table 3:
      1. The team that wins will progress to table 4.

    4. Table 4 (star table):
      1. The team that wins will be assigned a star and remain on court 4 for the next round.
      2. The losing team will regress to table 3.
  3. How the Points (Stars) Work:
    1. Each player will be assigned a star when they win a match on table 4 (Star Table).
    2.  Once a team gains One star, their Number will be changed to Green. All Green teams will start each match at (0-4). This will follow them on any table.
    3.  If a team gains two stars their number will change to Yellow. All Yellow teams will start their matches with a score of (0-7). This will follow them on any table.
    4.  If a team gains Three stars their number will change to Red. All Red teams will start their matches with a score of (0-10). This will follow them on any table.
  4. Re-entry:
    1. Every Player has 2 re-entries into the Tournament.
    2. If a team gets a star and gets eliminated – you cannot re-enter with the same partner (you can re-enter with a different partner).
    3. If you do not get a star with your team you can re-enter with the same team (2 times).
    4. Once you are eliminated please come to registration and we will reinsert you into the tournament and assign you a new number.
