A. What are "Lightning Strike" Tournaments (Weekly)?
This Lightning Strike Tournament will run as a mixed doubles event with a twist. You will sign up as individuals, 8 men and 8 women. For the first game, the men will draw for a black or red choice of King, Queen, Jack, Joker. The women will draw for a black or red card of the same. The man and woman who drew the 2 red Kings will partner and start in court 1 (the man and woman who drew the black Kings will be their opposition), the 2 who drew Queens will start in court 2, and so on. After the first game, the winners in court 1 will stay and the losing team will move down to court 2. The winners from court 2 move up and the losing team moves down, and so on. For the second and following games, you will change partners once the court shift occurs. So, the man remaining in court 1 will partner with the woman who has moved up, and the winning woman from court 1 will partner with the man who moves up from court 2…
Games will be played to 15 points, win by 1 using rally points and rally serve.
B. What are "Lightning" Tournaments (1st Thursday of the month)?
Lightning Tournaments are 90-minute tournaments run with mixed partners who sign up as a team. Every 10 minutes a bell is rung to end a game and winners move up a court while losers move down a court. Scoring stops once the bell is rung, except for tied scores where the play continues until a final point is scored. Rally scoring and serving is played according to the following:
