🏆 KLYNG CUP 2026 Format 

🎯 Competition Format

• Start and Registration Time: All captains, please arrive 45 mins before the start time for the briefing. Both brackets start at the same time.

• Games per Team Match (4 total):

  • Men’s Doubles

  • Women’s Doubles

  • Mixed Doubles 1

  • Mixed Doubles 2

If there is a 2:2, then we will use the point differential. The team with higher accumulated points from the 4 games wins. If there is still a tie, we will have TieBraker in the end. 

• Scoring:

  • Rally scoring to 15 points (go straight freeze 14-14, next point win on SERVE)

  • Every rally counts — both serving and receiving teams can score. Fixed position and no rotation on the same side

• Court arrangement: 2 clubs stay on 1 court throughout the match. Every game Player guess the number to decide serve or side for every game. And the players stay with side throughout the game. 

🔄 Rotation Rules 

• Players stay on the same side for the entire game.

  • No switching left/right after every point.

  • Captains assign left/right position when lineups are submitted.

• Serving Rule:

  • Team with even score serves from right, odd score serves from left (to preserve the pickleball rhythm).
