Mixed Americano
An Americano where every pair has one woman and one man. Partners rotate within that rule, and everyone keeps their own points total.
Mikä muuttuu tavalliseen otteluun verrattuna
Rally-point scoring and individual totals replace games and sets, as in any Americano. Pairs must be mixed, which limits who can partner whom. The FIP mixed deciding-point rule only comes in if the event uses golden point or star point games.
Säännöt
Every pair is one woman and one man, and every match is two mixed pairs. Partners change every round, keeping the mixed rule. Every rally scores one point, and a match ends at the agreed total or time. Both players add the pair's score to their own totals. The highest individual total wins, in a combined table or in separate tables if the organiser announced them. If the organiser chooses to play in games with a golden point or star point instead of rally points, the FIP mixed rule applies on the deciding point: the receiver must be the same sex as the server, and the receiving pair cannot swap sides.
Näin järjestät sen
Check you have equal numbers of women and men. If not, decide before the start whether a same-sex pair is allowed or who rests. Choose the target or time and the tie-break order. Build the schedule so each woman partners each man once if time allows. Brief the players, start all courts together and record scores per player. Publish the table or tables at the end.
