French Open 08-09 June 2019
Concept:
All the tournaments of the EPT 2019 must be played by the following concept:
- 16 participating couples / teams
- Saturday: Group phase (4 groups of 4) Sunday: Finals
- Every team plays one game against each opponent in the group
- A team gets 1 point for a victory and 0 points for a defeat
- The first 2 teams of each group pass to the elimination stage A and the 2 other teams pass to the elimination stage B.
- Classification in the groups are determined based on the following criteria:
-Points
-Sets won
-Games won
-If two teams are equal based on the above criteria, the result in their match is decisive
- The matches in the group phase and the elimination phase are played by a best-of-3 (normal tie-break)

The group phase is played on Saturday and the elimination round on Sunday.

Ranking:
The system is based on a dynamic ranking as we know in tennis and Padel. In this system both teams can win points, also when a team loses his game. In this way, we give maximum competition and every game become important.
For every game won, the team will recceive 10 points. For a win game, the winner will earn 100 extra points.
EXAMPLE:
- A game in with the result 6-2 3-6 6-4.
- Winning team will gain: 6 + 3 + 6 = 15 points + 100 points for winning thegame
- Losing team will gain: 2 + 6 + 4 = 12 points
