Advantage final set
If agreed before the match, the FIP rules let the third set be played with no tie-break, so it carries on until one pair leads by two games.
Cosa cambia rispetto a una partita standard
No tie-break at six-all in the third set only.
Le regole
The first two sets are played as normal, with tie-breaks at six-all. At one set all, the third set is played without a tie-break. At six-all in the third set, play continues. The first pair to lead by two games wins the set and the match: 8 to 6, 9 to 7 and so on. Games, serving order and changes of ends continue as normal.
Come organizzarlo
