A round robin match (30 minute maximum playing time) consists of 2 games to 11, lag for serve, alternate player/team serves in second game. Match scoring as follows: Total points for a match is equal to total points scored + bonus points. 2 bonus points for each game won (if time expires prior to end of second game, no bonus will be awarded; but we will try to get through every match). 4 bonus points for winning match if you win by winning both games; 2 bonus points for winning the match by having the highest total score when the games are split. (If the games are split and both teams/players score the same number of points, each team gets 1 bonus point for the match). A player/team winning both games can score a maximum of 30 points. In round robin play the time out rule will be modified to one time out per team/player per game. Time outs (1 per game) are 30 seconds by rule (except for injuries)! Forfeit time is 5 minutes after the scheduled time.
