New Scoring Systems
Filed Under Announcements, Scoring | Comments Off on New Scoring Systems
The scoring systems for the 2010/2011 season were discussed and voted on at the most recent AGM. The choices were “Hand in/Hand Out to 9” or “PAR – Point A Rally”. These are the results:
OPEN DIVISIONS
All Open Divisions (1-8) will score using PAR 11. This system allows either player to score points regardless of whether they are serving or receiving. The server, on winning a stroke, scores a point and retains the service; the receiver, on winning a stroke, scores a point and becomes the server.
In the event of a 10-10 tie the winner is the first player to score two points clear of their opponent (ie: 12-10 or 13-11). The matches will remain a best of five.
WOMEN’S DIVISIONS
All Women’s Divisions (1-7) will score using PAR 15. This system allows either player to score points regardless of whether they are serving or receiving as in PAR 11. The server, on winning a stroke, scores a point and retains the service; the receiver, on winning a stroke, scores a point and becomes the server.
In the event of a 14-14 tie the receiver (not the server) will choose to continue that game to fifteen (“Set 1”) or to seventeen points (“Set 3”). With “Set 1” the player to score the NEXT point wins. With “Set 3” it is the first player to get to 17 points that wins. The matches will remain a best of five.
