Q: What is a Doubles Shuffle?

A: In a Doubles Shuffle, players enter as individuals (without a partner) and then are placed in small pools of players in order to play with and against shuffling/changing partners and opponents. The goal is to have the best record in your pool in order to advance to the next pool, and ultimately the top-4 Championship pool, where the best doubles player will be determined.

Q: What is the bracket format for the Shuffle?

A: Both the Men’s and Women’s Shuffle will start with 4 pools of 4 players, with top 4 seeds separated, but the remaining players shuffled throughout the 4 pools. Players in each pool will play with and against each other, with the top 2 players advancing to the next pool round while the bottom 2 advance to consolation Pool

Q: What is the scoring and game format for the Life Time Summer Shuffle?

A: In all pool play, including Championship Pool play, players will play one Game to 21, rally scoring with each combination of teams playing against the others, resulting in a total of 3 Games to 21 to complete play in a pool. To win a Game, a team only has to win by 1 point (instead of the traditional 2), so at 20-20, the Game is one of sudden death, and the next point wins (regardless of who is serving).

Q: How is it determined which players advance to the next pool?

A: Standings In each pool will be determined by Won-Loss record, with ties broken by comparing the players’ points won minus points lost when considering all Games in the pool. Here is an example of a simplified presentation of how pool standings are maintained:

Q: What happens to players who do not advance out of the first pool?

A: Players who do not advance out of the first 3-Game pool will go to the Consolation Bracket where they will be shuffled into another pool to play for 9-16th place.

Q: How is the winner determined?

A: The final pool is played just like the other pools, but with the top finisher being crowned the Shuffle Champion
