If both teams are tied at 2-2 after the 4 games are played, they’ll go to a Dreambreaker™! In a Dreambreaker™ one person from each team plays singles against the other team’s player, switching players every four rallies until someone gets to 21 and wins by two points. Teams will compete in a round robin to bracket playoffs format, with a guarantee of a minimum three full matches.
