A Doubles player may repeat with a different partner.

For example, a 3 player team can field 3 singles, and two doubles with 1 player repeating.

A 2 player team would need to forfeit 3rd singles and 2nd doubles, however could still win a match by winning all 3 of their games.
A 7 player team can have unique players for each match position.
MIXED DIV:
Recommended format:
1 open doubles (any gender),  2 Mixed Doubles (M/F)  – scoring 2 games to 21
Tournament reserves the right to modify match format and scoring.

Round robin pool format for initial rounds will be played so teams can face off against a number of other teams

If sufficient teams for multiple pools, then top two advance to elimination playoffs.

Losing teams in brackets play off for lower place positions e.g. 5-6, 7-8.
Players ARE allowed to compete in both divisions!
Clubs may enter more than one team.

Line-up orders must be declared ahead of play (by Wednesday) so draws and timings may be made!
This is essential for scheduling because many players are playing in multiple brackets
and also to help avoid any “stacking” to gain an advantage.

Teams that are coming with “alternates” will be allowed 2 player substitutions per match in singles or
doubles, however the rest of the line-up may not change order. Alternates may sub into any position.

Teams need to declare the order of their 3 singles and 2 doubles in the Open Div along with an alternate format of 3 doubles.  Alternates should also be declared however no order is necessary for them.  MXD Div needs to declare 2 MXD teams and 1 any gender team along with alternates.

Venue is Smashville in Pottstown

Fee is $100. / team.  (E.g. with a 5 player team each player pays 20.)
