Detailed game rules

Goal

The objective of the pool is for your selected roster to score the most points for the tennis tournament. The person’s team who has the highest score at the end of the tennis tournament wins their bracket.

Scoring

After your roster is selected & the tournament starts, players on your team score (+) & lose (-) points in different ways. Generally, a player will score points as he/she progresses through the tournament. A more dominant match win is designed to result in more points awarded to your team (i.e: winning 6-1; 6-1 is a better result for your team than winning 6-4; 6-4). Team scores are displayed on a leaderboard for your pool.

Points are scored by each player for three actions:

Winning a game
Winning a set
Winning a match

Points are subtracted from a player for two actions:

Losing a game
Losing a set

Action	Result
Winning a game	+1 Point
Winning a set	+2 Points
Winning a match	+8 Points
Losing a game	-1 Point
Losing a set	-2 Points
Bye (must win following round)*	+10 Points

See the scoring examples at the end for detailed examples.

You can edit your team until the tournament starts. If a player withdraws before the tournament start time, you may substitute the player by editing your team.
