When the system is appropriate

The material is useful for players and organizers who choose the format of a club or commercial tournament

Расчёт раундов и переходов

В традиционной системе очко получает только подающая сторона, поэтому длительность игры менее предсказуема. В ралли-скоринге очко начисляется после каждого розыгрыша, что помогает управлять таймингом и делает каждую ошибку непосредственно видимой на счёте. Конкретные правила подачи, смены сторон и завершения матча должны быть записаны в регламенте, потому что существуют разные адаптации ралли-скоринга.

You can find the number of players, courts, rounds and time available, add transitions, input results and reserve, and then after you've calculated, select the name of the system and open the registration

Start with three checkssystem before registration; count; mark out.

The criterion of fairness

The format works if participants receive the promised number of matches, the schedule endures a protracted round, and the same situations are solved in the same way, these criteria are checked by timing and protocol

Standing by of the regulations

  • system before registration
  • count
  • mark out
  • spell out the ending and the difference
  • train judges and leaders

Organizational errors

You can't use the word "rally" without a detailed description. Participants can know different versions. It's also a mistake to change the system between the group and the final without warning

What to do when you're late

When time is scarce, reduce the number of points, rounds or stages before the regulations are published. You can't promise a large amount of play and then cancel matches during the event

Финальная проверка

Добавьте на страницу турнира короткую таблицу: кто получает очко, кто подаёт, до какого счёта игра и какая нужна разница.

Outcome by format

Before the start, send a memo: arrival time, count, seeding, transitions, points equality and the results channel
