🏓 MLPlay Team Challenge 👥 16 players | 4 teams | 2 courts | 3 hours 🔴 Red | 🔵 Blue | ⚫ Black | ⚪ White Each team comprises 2 ladies and 2 guys. Teams stay together and play all three opposing teams in a round robin. Two matchups run simultaneously—one on each court. 📋 Match Format Each matchup has six games, played consecutively: 1. Ladies’ doubles 2. Men’s doubles 3. Mixed doubles 1 4. Mixed doubles 2 5. Mixed doubles 3—swap partners TBC 6. Mixed doubles 4—swap partners TBC For the first two mixed games: • Guy 1 + Lady 1 • Guy 2 + Lady 2 For the next two mixed games: • Guy 1 + Lady 2 • Guy 2 + Lady 1 Everyone plays with both opposite-gender teammates against each opposing team. Captains confirm pairings before each matchup. Play all six games, even if the matchup winner is already decided. 🎯 Doubles Scoring • Rally scoring to 15, no deuce—15–14 wins. • Every rally earns a point. • No scoring freeze; the winning point may be scored while receiving. • 10-minute maximum per game, including changeover. • At the time limit, finish the rally. The higher score wins; if tied, play one deciding rally. 🔥 DreamBreaker If the matchup finishes 3–3, play rotating singles! • Rally scoring to 11, no deuce—11–10 wins. • Each team submits a fixed order of all four players. Captains reveal their orders together. • One player from each team plays two rallies in total, then the next players take over. • Rotate after every two rallies—not after two serves. • The rally winner serves next. Incoming players take over their teammate’s serving or receiving turn. • The team score carries on when players change. • Repeat the player order until one team reaches 11. • No scoring freeze. • Maximum 10 minutes: finish the rally; the higher score wins. If tied, play one deciding rally. These are our social MLPlay house rules. 🗓️ Round Robin Round 1 Court 1: 🔴 Red vs 🔵 Blue Court 2: ⚫ Black vs ⚪ White Round 2 Court 1: 🔴 Red vs ⚫ Black Court 2: 🔵 Blue vs ⚪ White Round 3 Court 1: 🔴 Red vs ⚪ White Court 2: 🔵 Blue vs ⚫ Black Start promptly and keep changeovers short.
