• Matches will be played as the "best of 2" short sets, first to 4 games with a short tie break (first to 5 points, deciding point at 4 points all) played at 3 games all. If sets are even at the conclusion of the second set then a regular tie break (first to 7 points with a 2 point advantage) will be played to determine the outcome of the match.
• A "SHORT TIE-BREAK" is the first to 5 points with sudden death at 4 points all. Players change ends every 4 points. The players whose turn it is to serve, serves the first point of the tiebreak. The following two points are served by the opponent. After this each player serves two points in rotation (continuing with rotation of service within doubles pairings).

• Let cords will be played as normal.
