Scoring system

Responding to a number of queries, here's how the scoring system works for all categories...

Prelims-
  • New rally system ("21").
  • One set per match.
  • Each match to play up to 30 points only (swop court at 15th point).
  • Winner of 30th point wins the match (no deuce).
  • Eventually, each Group will have a winner to reach Finals.
  • If time does not permit, final two teams from each group will play on another day (likely 30/11 Sun morning) to qualify into Finals.
  • Rationale behind this slight "modification" is to ensure the continuity of the double-knockout format.
  • In fact, teams will mostly likely get to play more than twice within the 4 hours in order to emerge the winner of the group.

Finals-

  • New rally system and full sets (up to 3 games) per match

Any doubts, pls email avidshuttlers@hotmail.com. Thank you!
