2. The official tournament ball will be Franklin X40, provided by the organizing committee. Players must bring their own paddles and court shoes, or arrange to borrow them. The tournament organizers will not provide paddles or shoes. Participants must wear pickleball or tennis-specific court shoes.

   
   

3. This tournament operates under a supervised honor system. No referees will be assigned during matches. All participants are expected to uphold integrity and sportsmanship, prioritizing friendship over competition.

4. Team Composition

   Each team must consist of 10–14 players, including at least 6 male players and 4 female players. Each team match (between two teams) consists of five events:

• Two Men’s Doubles matches

• Two Mixed Doubles matches

• One Women’s Doubles match

During the overall tournament, players may participate in different events when facing different teams. However, when facing the same team in a single team match, each player may participate in only one event.

If a team has fewer than ten players due to personal reasons, the “one event per player per team match” rule must still be followed. Teams may borrow players from other teams with sufficient personnel.

Any match forfeited due to insufficient players will be recorded as a forfeit.

5. Match Format & Scoring

• The tournament will use a Round Robin format.

• Each game is played to 15 points, win by at least 1 point. One game determines the winner of each event.

• Each team is allowed one one-minute timeout per game.

• The right to serve shall be determined by a coin toss. Each team sends one representative. The winner of the toss may choose either:

  1. Which side of the court to start on, or

  2. Whether to serve first.

     Only one option may be selected; the remaining choice goes to the opposing team.

• Each event win earns the team 1 point.

• Team rankings are determined by total accumulated points.

• The top three teams in the final standings will receive awards.

  
  

6. Tie-Breaking Rules

If teams are tied in total points, rankings will be determined in the following order:

• Total number of event wins

• Head-to-head result

• Overall point differential (points scored minus points allowed)

• Head-to-head point differential
