MD FINALS

Dear MD teams,

Thank you for the resounding support on 22/11 Sun!

MD FINALS's fixtures & scoring/knock-out format will be released by this Friday (28/11). Pls give us a few days' grace for planning. Reporting date/time will most likely be 6 Dec Sat 1pm for all MD teams.

In the meantime, MS & XD teams whom have not responded to email, kindly do so to acknowledge awareness of your team's report timing & group!

Thank you once again!

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!
