Structure of a Up and Down competition
COURTS AND PLAYERS
You have 4 players per court. All players start as random doubles pairings (mixed & non-mixed genders). Courts numbered (1, 2, 3…8 depending how many are in attendance).
SCORING
Short matches work best, either 15-minute intervals or shortened games to 9 points are advised. Scores are not recorded.
ORDER OF PLAY
Send all doubles pairs to a court. After each match, the winning pair splits and moves up towards the first court and the losing pair split and move down towards the last court. (For example, Team C beat Team D on court 2. Team C move up to court 1 to play the Winners on Crt 1, Team D move down to court 3 to play the winners arriving from Court 4). Play as many rounds as time allows.
