The four (4) players in a group play matches against is other in following order:
First match: R1 & R4 vs. R2 & R3
Second match: R1 & R3 vs. R2 & R4
Third match: R1 & R2 vs. R3 & R4
Note: R1 means player with the highest ranking of the four (4) players in the group, R2 means second highest ranking…, R3 third highest ranking…, and R4 means lowest ranking of the 4 players in the group
After the games, the ranking points of every player will be counted, and the ranking points affect a player’s ranking which will affect who a player will play with during the next weekly event.
A player’s ranking is based on the average of the two (2) last X League Singles events a player has participated in. A players ranking can be between 0 to 100. Players receive ranking points based on
