We are playing a 4-player-team tournament with a fun format that’s sure to keep your eyes on the ball! Company and individual teams can be registered in advance. If you want help finding a team let us know! We will be doing small round-robin groups with top finishers going to single elimination. Everyone plays at least two rounds!
Team Rules: •To ensure a fun and competive event, Team division players MUST NOT HAVE USATT OR USATT LEAGUE RATINGS ABOVE 1200 as of 10/1/2016. Our pro competitors are encouraged to join the Singles Division.
•Both teams line up their players behind the table, put their game faces on, and pick a starting player.
•After deciding who goes first (pick a hand) the first two players on each team will play out one point.
•The player who lost the point moves to the back of their team line and the next teammate comes up and has the serve.
•If one player wins 3 points in a row, that player also moves to the back of the team line and the opponents have the serve
