Mini Games Scoring
Teams of 2
Match Format
Definitions:
Match: The competition between 2 teams.
Event: There are 3 events which make up a match; 2 Singles and 1 Doubles.
Game: Each event is played as the best of 3 games (see ‘Scoring’).
Teams of 2 made up of either 2 boys or 2 girls, and will be entered into the
appropriate girls or boys competition. Each player plays 2 events in each Match:
Singles: Player 1
Singles: Player 2
Doubles: Player 1&2
A substitute player may be brought in at any point in an Event, and will also replace
that person in any other remaining Games and Events of that Match.
The organiser will schedule as many Matches as possible in the allotted time, only
playing the same team more than once if all teams have played one another.
1 league point will be scored for every Event won (maximum of 5 league points can be
scored per Match).
The winning team at the end of the competition will be the one at the end with the
most league points. If teams are on the same league points at the end of the
competition then they are joint in that position.
Scoring
Each Event will be played as the best of 3 Games.
Games one and two shall be won by the Team which first scores 9 points. The third
Game shall be won by the Team which first achieves a 3 Point lead, or first scores 5
Points, whichever is earlier.
Every time there is a serve – there is a point scored.
The side winning a rally adds a point to its score and serves the next rally.
The side winning a Game serves first in the next game.
Powerplay
Each Team will have one Powerplay per Event (E.g. There will be 1 Powerplay in Men’s
Doubles for each side). Teams may use this in any Game.
A Powerplay may only be requested by the serving Team between points (I.e. When
the shuttle is not in play) and they must declare their use of the Powerplay to the
opposition.
A Powerplay awards two points to the serving Team if they successfully win the
corresponding rally. Only one point shall be awarded if the opposing Team wins
the corresponding rally.

Recommendations to Organiser
Schedule as many Matches as possible with your court time. Allow a bit of extra time
at the end just in case they take longer than expected – you can always add another
round of matches at the end if there is time.
Allow a few minutes between rounds to get the next Matches ready.
All Teams will need to have played the same number of Matches by the end of the
tournament so they can earn as many points as possible.
Each Match will last approximately 25 minutes (played on 1 court).
Prepare a schedule which means teams do not have to sit off court waiting for too
long between Matches.
You may need to limit the number of teams you can accept if you do not have enough
court time.
