Yes. Women are welcome and included in the make up of these teams.

The SF State Recreation/Intramural Sports Program reserves the right to implement any rules necessary to protect the integrity of the league and ensure fairness of competition.

Game Scoring

Scoring is no-ad. This means a game is won by the first team to win four points (1, 2, 3, game). When the game score is deuce (3-3) (game point), the receiving team chooses which side is to receive the serve. In the mixed doubles set the serve must be gender to gender at game point.

Set Scoring

Each no-ad set is won by the first team to reach six games. A nine-point tiebreaker will be played at five games all in any set.

Match Scoring and Overtime

A match consists of five no-ad sets and includes one set of men's and women's singles and doubles, and one set of mixed doubles. The five set format has one set of mixed doubles, (mixed doubles is always played last).

On two courts, order of sets will be:

1. Women’s and men’s doubles
2. Women’s and men’s singles
3. One set of mixed doubles

The entire line-up should be recorded on the scorecard prior to the match beginning.

After the mixed doubles set is finished and scores are recorded and totaled, the procedure is as follows:

1. If the leading team won set number five, the match is over.
2. If the trailing team won set number five, the match continues into overtime until the leading team wins one game or until the score is tied. If a tie occurs, a Super tiebreaker will be played to determine the winner.
3. If the overall score ends tied, a Super tiebreaker will be played to determine the winner.
4. Overtime is a continuation of the fifth set. Team number five should be designated as the strongest mixed doubles team. Once you have come out of the mixed doubles set, you cannot return in overtime. The first person to serve in overtime is the person who was next to serve at the end of the fifth set. This OVERTIME rule gives the trailing team a chance to make a comeback. It also emphasizes the importance of the mixed doubles set.

Substitutions

A team can at any point, INCLUDING THE SUPER TIEBREAKER, substitute a player (same gender) into a set for any reason. Once a player is replaced, he/she cannot return in that set. If a substitution occurs in doubles, the remaining player cannot change the side on which he/she receives or the service order. Substitutions are allowed in overtime if a player has not already played in mixed doubles. The Super tiebreaker should be treated as a new set, and all substitutions are allowed. Substitutes are not allowed warm up time.

Warm-up time

In WTT you warm up with your teammates. All players are allowed a five-minute warm-up. All team members are encouraged to warm-up during this time. Once play has begun, a three-minute warm-up is allowed between sets. This must be adhered to so that all sets will be completed in the time allotted.

Service Order

The home team will be determined by the spin of a racquet. The home team serves first in all doubles sets. The away team serves first in the singles sets. In the fifth set the away team serves first. Note: Since the serving order is predetermined, the receiving team selects from which end of the court they want to receive.

Changing Ends

After every four games players change ends. In the nine-point tiebreaker, change ends only after the first four points. In the Super tiebreaker, change ends only after the first six points.

Service Lets

Service lets will not be played as “live balls”. Service lets will be played in accordance with the standard USTA Tennis Rules and Regulations.

Coaching and Line Calls

Coaching is allowed throughout the match as long as it does not interfere with continuous play. We encourage team members to stand along the court and support their team. Only the two players (singles) or four players (doubles and mixed doubles) can make the line calls. Team members along or near the court cannot make the line calls.

Default Rule

If the home or away team player does not show up on time for his/her match, there will be a 15 minute default time should a substitute player not be available. If a set is defaulted, the score should be recorded as 6-0 in favor of the players present. The default rule will not apply when the missing player is on court playing a previous match. If the home or away team does not show up on time for the match, there will be a 15-minute default time. If a match is defaulted, the match score should be recorded as 30-0 in favor of the team present.

If a player defaults during a set and cannot be substituted, the score will be recorded with the games played standing with the opposing team receiving six games.

Tiebreakers Explained

Nine-Point Tiebreaker

A nine-point tiebreaker will be played at five games all in any set. The person who is to serve next begins the tiebreaker. Each player serves two points in succession starting from the deuce court. Players change sides after four points. The first team (or person) to score five points wins the tiebreaker. If the tiebreaker reaches 4-4, the person who served the eighth point serves the ninth (final) point. The receiver, however, has the choice of sides (except in mixed doubles, where the service must be gender-to-gender). The winner of the ninth point is the winner of the set. Note: You do not have to win by two points.

Super Tiebreaker

If the match enters into a Super Tiebreaker, a coin toss will decide which team serves first/receives or chooses side in the Super Tiebreaker. The Super Tiebreaker should be treated as a new set and substitutions are allowed. Either player on the serving team may serve first. The receiving team selects from which end of the court they want to receive. In addition, court positions may be changed (i.e. the person who played forehand position may switch with his/her partner to play the backhand position). Each player serves two points in succession starting from the deuce court. Players change sides after six points. The first team to score seven points wins the Super Tiebreaker. If the Super Tiebreaker reaches 6-6, the person who served the 12th point will serve the 13th (final) point. Since this set is mixed doubles, the final serve will be gender-to-gender. The winner of the 13th point wins the Super Tiebreaker and the match.

Note: You do not have to win by two points. The Super Tiebreaker counts as one game in overall match scoring.

Breaking Ties for Pool or Bracket Winner

Pool standings will be determined on the basis of the won-loss record of completed matches. If there is a tie in the final standings it will be decided in the following order:

1. The tie will be broken in favor of the team with the most direct match wins over the tying team.
2. The best winning percentage (total games won divided by total games played against tied teams) between the teams with tied match records will break the next tie.
3. If a tie still exists, the team, which has won the most total games in all of their matches during the tournament, will be given precedence.
4. If a tie still exists, the team who has lost the least total games in the tournament will break it.
5. Should a tie still exist, it will be broken in favor of the team which has scored the most games over the other during the tournament.
6. If a tie still exists, there will be a Super tiebreaker to determine the winner.

SPIRIT OF COMPETITION

Team sport activities find their origin in the basic human need for play.Winning and losing are mere outcomes of this play spirit. Abusive language towards officials, other participants and manipulation of the rules are not "part ofthe game." What is part of the game is the pure satisfaction of playing, competition,getting fit and enhancing friendships. Without your opponent, you have no game, no contest, and no fun. You are indebted to them as they are to you. Upholding high standards of integrity and fair play acknowledges this idea of cooperative competition. All players are encouraged to exercise good judgment in caring for the safety of others as well as themselves. At SFSU, an intentional foul is a violation of the rules and is considered cheating and a gross offense against the spirit of competition. All players are asked and expected to participate within the context of this spirit of play/competition.
