scoring

---

A. All matches are the best 2 out of 3 sets.

B. Set Completion

A set is completed when one player wins 6 games by a margin of 2 games. If the set score reaches 6-6, a 12-point tiebreaker is played to determine the winner of that set. (See Tie-break rules below)

C. Tie break in lieu of a 3rd set

IF ALL PLAYERS AGREE, you may play a 12 point tiebreaker in lieu of a 3rd set. In this case, record the 3rd set score as 7-6.

D. Reporting scores:

Scores for all matches (including "Forfeits" and "Retired" matches) must be reported by the winning player/team by midnight of the “deadline” date. Record the actual set scores. Tiebreakers are recorded as 7-6. If the score is not reported, the match score will be blank and each team will receive zero points. A score may be recorded after the “deadline” date by using a "Late Pass" (see "Late Score Pass" under "Matches").

E. Earning Points:

Players/Teams receive points based on the set scores of your match. Point Calculations:

The Winning Player/Team Receives:

12 points for a 3 set win

14 points for a 2 set win

The Losing Team Receives:

One point for each game won in their “two highest scoring sets”.

A losing player/team can receive up to a maximum of 8 points per match.

Example match score: 6-4, 6-2

winner receives 14 points

loser receives 6 points

Example match score: 6-2, 4-6, 7-5

winner receives 12 points

loser receives 8 points

F. Win by default

A "Win by default" is reported when the opponent(s) is not available to play the match or does not respond to the opponent’s emails and phone calls by the Wednesday of the primary week.

G. Retired matches:

A retired match is the result of one player/team. A "Retired" win is reported by the winning player/team when a match cannot continue due to injury, illness, personal reasons, disagreement, if court is not available for the entire match or the lights go out at the home player/team's court before a match is completed. To record a Retired match, enter the score of games/sets played and check the "Retired" box.

H. Incomplete matches:

An incomplete match is the result of weather or some uncontrollable event and not the result of a player/team. The games completed should be reported if the match will not be finished. When reporting a score for an incomplete match, enter the scores exactly what they were at the time play stopped. The system will detect that the scores are incomplete and will ask you what caused the stoppage in play. Players will receive up to a maximum of 10 points for an incomplete match.

I. No Score Reported:

If a match score is not reported, the match will be shown as a blank or not played and each team will receive 0 points. A score may be recorded after the “deadline” date by using a "Late Pass" (see "Late Score Pass" under "Matches").

J. Scores Reported Incorrectly

To help avoid the incorrect reporting of scores, players should confirm the final score with each other once the match is completed. The winning player should then report the match scores as soon as possible. If a player discovers an incorrect score, they should confirm the correct match score with their opponent and may re-report it prior to the deadline. Corrections of scores that are beyond a scoring deadline should be emailed to Customer Service. It is in the best interest of all players regardless of who wins or loses a match to review their scores on a regular basis so that corrections can be made in a timely manner. The League Office will not make corrections to scores once the final deadline for the season passes.

K. Reporting Defaults

All players are on the honor system and should never report a default unless it is warranted. Since the "winner" is the player determined to report scores, defaults should not be reported until the actual "winner" is determined.
