NO-AD SCORING & 9 POINT TIE-BREAKERS

No-Ad Scoring:

With the NO-AD SCORING, players need win only 4 points to win a game. If the score goes to 3 points all (deuce) the next point decides the game–it's game point for both players. The receiver has the right to choose to which court the service is to be delivered on the seventh point.
If a NO-AD set reaches six games all, a 9-point tie breaker shall be used (i.e. first to win 5 points wins the set).NOTE: The score-calling terminology for a match played NO-AD may be either in the convenient terms or in simple numbers; i.e., "zero, one, two, three, (game point), game."Tiebreakers–5 out of 9 points–(Sudden Death) are described below:Player B shall serve first in the set following the playing of the tie-breaker (thus assuring that he will be first server if this set also goes into a tie-break). The players shall "stay for one" after a tie-break.Doubles: The same format as singles applies, provided that each player shall serve from the same end of the court in the tiebreaker that he has served from during that particular set. Format 1-4-3-2 (First server, fourth server, switch sides, third server, second server)Second server or serving teams shall serve first game in the second set; switch sides for the second game.
