Seeding matches will consist of 15-minute timed games with no cap on points (play until the whistle). If the game is tied when the whistle blows, teams will play one more point to determine a winner (NO TIES). Games are all rally point. If teams want, they may switch sides every 10 points.
Playoffs
Playoff matches will have a best 2-of-3 (21/21/15) format. Games are all rally point, win by 2 points, with a hard cap at 23 (Hard cap at 17 in the 3rd match). Playoff matches may be timed if necessary.
Playoff matches will be over when a team wins 2 sets or time expires. Urban Rec will be responsible for keeping time.
If time expires during the 3rd set, whichever team is winning at that point will win the match.
If time expires during the 2nd set, then total points scored in the 2 games to that point will determine the winner of the match. If the whistle blows while play is on, please play out the point. If this results in the score being tied for the set or for the match, then teams will play one more point to determine a clear winner.
