MATCH GUIDELINES
ALL DIVISIONS
All match times allow for a 25 minute warm up period with your team. Please do not arrive 1 hour early and expect warm up courts to be available. If courts are available, we will do our best to get you on earlier. No warm up is permitted with your opponent unless the player did not play in the doubles – in which case a 5 minute warm up is allowed for that individual. 5 minutes is built into the schedule to allow players to get to the correct courts. Therefore, the first point of the match should start 30 minutes after your allocated court time.
No-AD scoring for singles and doubles for ALL DIVISIONS
There are NO service lets for ALL DIVISIONS
If a team has won the overall match and both coaches have previously agreed not to play the clinch format, all remaining singles matches that have not started a third set will become super tiebreakers.
If a team wants to play the clinch format, please confirm this with the opposing coach BEFORE THE MATCH STARTS.
DIVISION I, II, NAIA and JUCO
Singles – Two out of Three Sets
Doubles – One Six game set – 7 point tie break at 6 all
DIVISION III
Singles – Two out of Three Sets

SBS reserves the right to update this format.
If you are playing a DI, DII, NAIA or JUCO School, the D1/D2/NAIA/JUCO format and rules below will be used.
