Расчёт раундов и переходов

Команды до начала назначают порядок игроков. В решающем блоке участники по очереди проводят короткие серии одиночных розыгрышей, после чего сменяются. Порядок повторяется до достижения установленного счёта с необходимой разницей. Организатор должен определить сторону старта, подачу, число розыгрышей на одну пару игроков и момент смены концов. Судья громко объявляет счёт и следующую ротацию.
