How a league fixture works

Each team fields four players. A head-to-head fixture consists of six doubles matches.

The Men's and Women's Doubles are played at the same time, followed by four Mixed Doubles matches.

The players who compete in the gender doubles do not have to be the same players who compete in the mixed matches.
