During each tournament in the league stages points are awarded as follows 1 point to the winner of a non tie-break set and the overall winner 3 points, so should Player A beat Player B by two straight sets it will be 5 Points to Player A and 0 points to Player B. In the instance of each player winning a set forcing the set into a tie break it would be 1 point to each player and the winner of the tie break receiving an additional 3 points. When the score is level in the non tie-break sets each player would receive half a point each. At the end of the league the top two play off for that days top spot.
