Handicap rules

Each match starts level The pair that loses the first game starts the second game with a 15-0 advantage (server starts serving from the left) If the same pair loses the second game, they start the third game with a 30-0 advantage (server starts from the right).  If they win that third game, their advantage returns back to 15-0 for the fourth game. In other words, each game starts with the previous game’s winners losing 15 points.  The advantage oscillates during the whole match, depending on how well you are doing.  BUT - The advantage at the start of any game is limited to 30-0 If the match reaches 6-6, abandon the above rules and play the 13th game as a normal tie break.  It’s important to note down the tie break points score as these might be needed in case of a draw overall across the group.
