How DBV works

Every DBV match is six games: Men's Doubles, Women's Doubles, and four Mixed Doubles. The away team's captain picks the order the games are played in — before anyone sees a lineup.

Both captains submit their lineups independently. Nobody sees the other team's lineup until BOTH are in — then everything is revealed at once. No counter-picking.

Rally scoring to 21, win by 2, capped at 25 (at 25, win by 1). Either captain enters scores on their phone; the other captain confirms afterward.

Tied 3–3 after six games? The DreamBreaker decides it — a singles shootout where players rotate in. Captains set their player order and the app records the winner.

Win outright: 3 points, loser gets 0. Win via DreamBreaker: 2 points — and the losing team still earns 1 for pushing it to the wire. Ties are broken by standings points, then game differential, then point differential.

Stats are per GAME, not per match. Win Mixed 1 and lose Men's on the same night? That's a 1–1 night for you. Player and pair records, win %, and point differentials all build from every single game you play.

Across the four mixed games, each player should have a different partner whenever possible. The app nudges captains if a pairing repeats.
