Tier 1 League Sheet

[jpguywatchout]

just wanted to clarify, ahead of time before league starts, that i think it's been agreed (in a previous thread i started mid-season) that from now on when teams are tied at the end of the league sheet, goals is NOT the decider. The decider is another best 2-of-3 doubles match, so that everyone gets to play to break the tie.

Correct? Just wanted to make it clear....

Yes I believe that was the consensus and I'm sure the majority of those who did not take part in the discussion would also be in agreement.

[deliverance]

Ok noted. Keep the suggestions coming.


Edited for clarity:
Should the tiebreaker doubles have a similar format to Set 1 or Set 2 players that play in that order or can you choose who starts so long as all players have played by match #2.

You will play all three games now. Two wins =2. Three wins =3.

[deliverance]

I wouldn't recommend to play all 3 games.

Worst case scenario that can happen you end up with: 5 extra games played with tie breaker, which adds considerable amount of time just to determine a winner.

Let's be conscious of people's time and keep this to standard 2/3 games.

[5barwarrior]

whatever, we already decided that as an elegant solution to the number of games per player so that everyone plays the same number of games.

[deliverance]

I may have missed that. If its been decided we'll keep it that way.

[Jester]

This got decided? Does the other team get a point if they win game 3 or do they just stop the other team from getting 3?

[5000 Years Old Man]

guys, better add all the rules on the League sheet somewhere, so that whenever printed they are present and visible, or there will be mayhem

[deliverance]

Once we finalize I'll try to have rules printed on the back or on a few separate sheets to reference on the back of the boards.

[5barwarrior]

This might be a good starting point.

I think in the 3rd game the other team if they win should be able to get a point to finish the doubles 2-1.

geez i don't know about that Jester... i don't like the idea of awarding coveted points for mediocrity. I think the 3rd game should just prevent the winning team from getting all 3 points and getting 2 points instead. I mean, going from 3 points to 2 points -- isn't that like the losing team gaining a point anyway?

p.s. for Deliverance, the tie-breaker doubles would mimic the first set.

Agree with all this

I'll post the new sheet with updated rules by the end of the week.
