The Torneo Bizkaia de Parejas Dentro del Cinqo Y Medio took place from July 17-30, 2016, with 6 competing teams, two of which had a seeding in the semi-finals. The cinqo y medio format is simlar to the quatro y medio, except that the fault line is 5 1/2 instead of 4 1/2 and the serve must be between the 3 and 5 1/2 line. The purpose is the same as the 4 1/2 format for singles matches. Shorten the court and emphasize speed and shot making over raw power.
