round robin groups:
- Each player must play every player in his or her group. When a match is finished, record the score and send an e-mail to Sydney
- Forfeits will not be counted as a win or loss for either player.
- In the event of a tie between two or more players in a Round Robin group, a period of several days will be allotted in order to schedule a tiebreaker.
- After the Round Robin is finished, the winners of the groups will enter a single elimination tournament.
scoring:
- A point is won by a player when the opponent cannot hit the ball over the net and onto the other side of the table.
- A game is won by being the first player to win 11 points, and be at least 2 points ahead of his or her opponent. If both players have won 10 points, then the first player to get a 2 point lead wins the game.
- A match is the best of 5 games. The first player to win 3 games is the overall winner.
- The score begins at 0-0, and the server will serve first. Each player gets to serve for two points in a row, and then the other player has to serve.
- The server must serve the ball so that it touches his or her side of the table once, then bounces over or around the net, and then touches his or her opponent's side of the table. A serve that touches the net assembly (the net, net posts, and net clamps) on the way, but still touches his or her side first and then the opponent's side on the second bounce, is called a let serve (or just let) and must be replayed, with no change to the score. There is no limit on how many lets the server can serve in a row.
- When a point is won, that player adds one to his or her score.
timeline:
- The round robin will start October 13
- Semi-Final and Final matches to be played November 7th, after the Open House lecture
