Game Formats

Group Stage

• All      categories will run a group stage where each team/individual within the      group will go up against all the members of their group in round robin      fashion.
• Groups      shall be determined by random number.
• During      the group stage, the game format to be used shall best out 3 game to 21,      unless otherwise specified.
• Where      participants are called to their match, they shall be given 2 minutes to      turn up for their matches. If 2 minutes has passed and one side is not      available to play, then the side that is present is declared to have won      the match with a maximum score line to 0 points for the side that was      absent.
• The      whole pool of participants of the category will be ranked based on wins,      points, and point differences. Should there be ties after all these      factors are accounted for, the participants with the higher random number      shall go through.
• The      number of pairs going to the eliminations shall depend on the elimination      rounds they start at but will be subject to change by the organisers based      on schedule and court availability. Rough guide as follows:

1. Group Stage (Round-robin)

1. Groups:
   • Number       of groups: 6 (4 teams per group)
   • Each       team plays every other team in their group.

2. Advancement to Knockout Stage

1. Top      Teams Advance:
   • The       top 2 teams from each group advance to the knockout stage.
   • Total       teams advancing: 6 groups×2 teams per group= 12 Teams

   • First       Round (Round of 12):
     • 12        teams, 6 matches
   • Quarterfinals:
     • 6        winners from the first round + 2 best performing teams (based on        performance or byes)
     • Total        8 teams, 4 matches

• Best      of 3 games of 21
  • The       matches will consist of 3 games, each one to 21 points, with setting       (i.e. if both sides reach 20 points, the side that scores the next 2       points will win the match). If both sides reach 29 points, the side that       scores the next point will win the match.
  • The       players of the match may change court after the first and second games,       and if one side reaches 11 points in the third game.
