Matches will be played in 2 sets to 15 and a tie breaker, if necessary, to 5. 5 over serves (Pasas) are allowed, leading to a second serve. After that any Pasa is a service fault. Any unde rserve is an immediate fault. Carom serves are allowed.
The Tournaments.
4. Saint-Jean-de-Luz (2): (October 27-November 2)
Order of #3 and #4 was determined by Cesta Punta Pro Tour. Dates are obviously out of order. Original schedule was changed somewhere along the line.
Player Standing: (Points; Point Differential). Note: these standings will only be available until the beginning of the next Pro Tour. Then they will be overwritten by the new results. I have copied out the final "Classement" for all players (by position within Group) for archival purposes at the bottom of this page.
Point Determination.
Wins: 2-0=4 points. 2-1=3 points
Losses: 1-2=1 point. 0-2=0 points.

Note: at present there is very little in the way of match report availablity. If I find any, I will link to them. I will not be providing Canal + scoring as it is most often incomplete and in many cases doesn't add to the final score.

Full Match Videos of all matches in this Tournament are available at Biarritz Athletic Club Facebook. Note: these are not commercial quality videos, but are quite good, in my opinion. That said, the French commentators do not necessarily call out the score on each point. Viewers will have to keep track of the score.
