Tie Break Tens is a short-form tennis format in which only tie-break matches are played. There are no games or sets, only tie-break matches and the winner is the first player to reach 10 points and lead by a margin of two. Most other traditional rules of tennis are the same.

Our tournament will use a round-robin format, or similar, depending on final numbers. Remember: every point counts.
