PLAYOFF TIEBREAK PROCEDURES FOR 2.5 WOMEN’S DIVISION

If the final score of the match is tied at 1-1, the following tie-breaks will be used to determine a match winner:

Least Individual Games Lost, if still no winner then,
On separate sheets of paper, Position 1 and Position 2 will be written and the slips thrown into a hat. A drawing by an impartial party will determine which position will play in the final tiebreak. The position selected will have the two players from Team A that just played in that position, play against the two players from the same position of Team B. They will immediately proceed to play a 7 point tiebreaker, (first to 7 by 2 points - Coman), to determine a winner and break the tie.

More detailed information, (location, time, draw), will be emailed after your last regular season match, after all final match scores have been submitted.
