Scoring
We will be using Fast4 scoring (with a couple minor modifications) at least until the semifinals of each draw. Here's how Fast4 scoring works:
Matches are best of three Fast4 sets. For the first two sets, the first to 4 games wins.
If a set goes to 3 games all, play the set to 5 games. If a set goes to 4 games all, play a regular 7-point tiebreaker to decide the set. 7-point tiebreakers are: first to 7 points wins and with win-by-2 scoring.
At one set all, play a 10-point tiebreaker in lieu of a full third set. 10-point tiebreakers are: first to 10 points wins with win-by-2 scoring.
We will play with ad scoring.
Once you're on court
After you've signed in, we will assign you and your opponents to an open court. Please bring your own can of balls for each match and use only one can. The winners will take the unused can and use it for the next match.
Warm ups will be up to 5 minutes only! Again, please keep in mind that we have lots of matches scheduled this weekend so let’s keep play moving.
Please note that the courts will be very busy both days and there will be limited availability for regular signups.
Show up at the courts between 8am and noon to help us fix windscreens, install and adjust nets, clean up debris, and generally spruce up the courts after a busy season!
This is the 14th annual Addison Steadman Singles Tournament. Addison Steadman was our friend, gentle soul, and court attendant who passed away 14 years ago. We play in his honor.
The Tournament will be held over two weekends: July 16-17 and July 23-24. In case of rain delay, play will be pushed to the following weekends as needed.
The tournament has 2 draws. A draw (4.5 +) and B draw ( 4.0 -)
The format is Fort Greene-style Fast4 scoring:
• The winner is whoever wins the best of three Fast 4 sets.
• If a set goes to 3 all then play to 5.
• If a set goes to 4 all, play a 7-point tiebreaker with win-by-2 scoring.
• If tied at 1 set apiece, the third set is a 10-point tiebreaker with win-by-2 scoring.
• If a set goes to 3 games all, play the set to 5 games.
• All games use ad scoring.
