Details
Games will be played in the regulation courts.
If you don’t have a teammate, we will have an “Individual's List” and form a team for you.
There will be three timed games using the Swiss format and following standard FPUSA rules.
Play is not to begin until the whistle is sounded to begin that round. After 50 minutes the whistle will blow, and you should finish the end then play one final end. The score is then recorded even if one team has not reached 13 points. The whistle will blow at 60 minutes at which point the game must end, even if it is a draw.
* To ensure an even number of teams and that everyone plays, some teams may need to be triplettes, and the last teams to sign up may need to be split.
