How the league works
Nine simple rules. Nothing is drawn on the night — every pairing and match-up is set in advance, so you always know who you're playing with and against.
On-Court Code of Play No refs in the qualifying rounds — the ten rules that keep matches honest, fast, and fair. Read it →Men's doubles

Every team pairs one man with one woman.Schedule is illustrative and may have other days in the week. Check the actual schedule for more information.
Everyone plays a rotating series of matches rather than a knockout.
Men's, women's, and mixed doubles each run their own schedule.
You partner every other player in your event exactly once — one match per partnership across the season.
Men's on Sun/Mon/Wed, women's on Fridays, mixed on weekends.
All partnerships and match-ups are published ahead of time.
Based on the number of participants, the league is balanced between men and women as much as possible.
First to 4 games wins a set; at 3–3 a 5-point tie-break decides it.
The ladder is ordered by Win % (matches won ÷ scheduled), then Games %, then head-to-head.
Each event's top players contest a round-robin, then a balanced final for the champion pair — Men's and Women's from the top 4, Mixed from the top 2 men + 2 women.
The players
Sixteen players, numbered for the schedule. Men are Players 1–8, women are Players 9–16. In mixed doubles, every pair is one of each.

Decides a level setWorked example
| Pair | Set 1 | Set 2 | Set 3 | Sets |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Player 1 & Player 4 | 4 | 2 | 4(5) | 2 |
| Player 2 & Player 6 | 1 | 4 | 3(3) | 1 |
Set 3 reached 3–3, so a 5-point tie-break was played — Players 1 & 4 took it 5–3 to win the match two sets to one.
Standings & finals
Because partners rotate, each discipline ranks its players individually — by Win % (matches won ÷ scheduled), then Games % and head-to-head. Each event's top players then contest a short round-robin that re-seeds them into a balanced final, crowning a champion pair — the same round-robin-then-final shape the ATP & WTA Finals use. Men's and Women's each take the top 4; Mixed the top 2 men + top 2 women.
Example ladder — women's discipline (illustrative)
| Rank | Player | Wins | Win % |
|---|
With everyone on an equal 7-match slate here, Win % is simply matches won ÷ 7; the top 4 (highlighted) advance. This is the shape men's and women's share — each takes the top 4, and mixed takes the top 2 men + top 2 women. The full per-event formats are on the Semis & Finals page.
Step 1 · The top 4 play a round-robin group
The four qualifiers play everyone-partners-everyone — three doubles matches, each partnering each of the others once. No fixed teams to guess at; it mirrors how the season is played.
Step 2 · The balanced final
The group produces a fresh 1–4 order (R1–R4). The final pairs strongest with weakest, so the two best land on opposite sides.
Ties in the group go to the higher season seed, so the summer's form carries in. The winning pair are champions — three champion pairs in all: men's, women's, and mixed.
