Our unique Coed Team Tennis format mixes it up with men's doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles...all during the same match. A coed team consists of 3 men and 3 women per team. The team captain determines who plays each week. Each team member plays a least 6 of 9 weeks.Team MatchesA coed doubles team match consists 4 sets. 1 set of men's doubles, 1 set of women's doubles and 2 sets of mixed doubles played on 2 side by side courts. You start out playing 1 regular set of doubles (men's or women's). Once finished you select one of your opposite sex teammates a play a set of mixed doubles. Cumulative Scoring for Teams To ease the pressures of competitive tennis, MatchMaker uses a cumulative scoring format. The match winner is determined by totaling the games won during all six sets. The team with most games won that day, wins the match. This cumulative scoring allows a team to compensate for weaker players or "bad days". Our intent is to play tennis for fun, and to prevent fiercely competitive one sided matches. Cumulative scoring allows any team to have a fair chance at winning up through the end of the season. Each week the scores will be updated on the web site to keep all players abreast of the standings. In the event of a 6-6 set score tie, the standard 12 point tiebreaker is used, 1 game is added to the tiebreaker winner and reported as 7-6 If a match ends with a tied score, a tiebreaker is played and 1 game is added to the winning team's score. |
