Teams
Points & Handicap
STANDARD SCORING
Standings will be based on the number of points each team has, not the number of wins. Here is a breakdown of the standard points system:
- 1 point for each game won (singles and doubles)
- 5 points for each individual match won (singles #1, singles #2 and doubles)
- 10 points for the overall team win (which team wins the best of 3 match)
HANDICAP SCORING
Handicap points are based on the difference between total combined team UTRs and given as a bonus for games won to the underdog players/team.
Example:
Team A
Player 1: 2.21 UTR
Player 2: 1.00 UTR
Total Team UTR=3.21
Team B
Player 1: 3.55 UTR
Player 2: 3.26 UTR
Total Team UTR=6.81
During this match, team A will earn a handicap of 3.60 which is the difference between total UTRs of both teams.
Handicap is added to the games won during the team match. So for each game Team A wins, they’ll receive a bonus of 3.6 points. For each game Team B wins, they’ll receive the standard 1 point.
Match Example #1:
#1 singles
Team B player wins 4-2, 4-2
(Team B would earn 13 points, Team A would earn 4 points by standard scoring; in addition, Team A would earn a handicap of 3.6×4 games won, so an additional 14.4 points. So the score from this match would be Team A: 18.4 pts., Team B: 13 pts.)
#2 Singles
Team B Player wins 4-1, 4-1
(Team B would earn 13 points, Team A would earn 2 points by standard scoring; in addition, Team A would earn a handicap of 3.6×2 games won, so an additional 7.2 points. So the score would be Team B 13 pts., Team A 9.2 pts.)
<>
Doubles Match
Team B wins 4-0, 4-2
(Team B would again earn 13 points, Team A would earn 2 points by standard scoring; in addition, Team A would earn a handicap of 3.6×2 games won, so an additional 7.2 points. So the score total for the doubles match would be Team B 13 pts., Team A 9.2 pts.)
<>
During this match, Team B won each match by regular scoring, so the team match was won 3-0 which earns Team B another 10 points per standard scoring.
FINAL SCORE:
Team B: 49
Team A: 36.8
