Racquet War Format
How Are Teams Formed
All teams are made up of two people. You and your partner will play all your matches together. One of the best parts of Racquet War’s waterfall format is the ability for players to partner up with anyone at any level. For example, if you have a NTRP USTA 3.5 rating and want to play with a good friend of your who has a NTRP USTA 4.5 rating you can do so. The format of the tournament ends up putting you and your partner in the correct bracket for your level. So while we do collect your NTRP rating, it doesn’t matter whatsoever in who your partner is. If you don't have a partner, we will do our best to pair you with someone also looking for a partner.
Racquet War Format Explained
All teams will start out in a waterfall bracket where teams will play two 8 game no-ad pro sets to determine each doubles team competitive levels. After the two rounds of 8 game pro sets each team will play a minimum of two regular scoring matches with a tiebreaker used as a 3rd set if needed. With this unique format, players do not have to worry about NTRP rating and can partner up with whoever they wish. All doubles teams end up playing against other double teams of similar skill in their final bracket. Players will only have the option of playing in one draw.
