How it runs
Rotating-partner round robin: you get a new partner every round and score for yourself, not your pair. One reviewed pool of 9 plays five rounds on 2 courts. Everyone plays four round-robin games to 11, win by 2, with four different partners, and sits out one round; the last round uses one court. Gold: 1st + 4th against 2nd + 3rd. Bronze: 5th + 8th against 6th + 7th. Both medal games are to 15, win by 2; ninth finishes after the round robin. Standings are ranked by wins, then head-to-head wins among the tied players, then point differential, then point differential in games between the tied players, then point differential against the players just above, then points scored.
