  5.  All matches will be conducted in accordance with United States Tennis Association (USTA) rules, except as
    modified.
  6. The scoring format for all singles and doubles matches will be two out of three tiebreak sets, in the event of split sets, a match tiebreak (first to 10 points win by 2) will be played.
