Competition Format

Each athlete receives 3 serve attempts. The fastest valid serve determines their position on the leaderboard. The second-fastest valid serve is the first tiebreaker, and the third-fastest is the second tiebreaker. Faults do not count toward ranking speed.

Rules

Only valid, officially verified serves count towards an athlete’s event result, personal best and MFS ranking. Faults, practice serves and unverified attempts do not count. Results marked Under Review remain hidden from public rankings, draws and athlete records until approved by an authorised official. Any result that is edited, invalidated or restored requires a reason and is automatically recorded in the audit trail, including the original value, updated value, official and timestamp. Once verified, results automatically update the athlete’s profile, ranking points, event standings and relevant draw. Published results can only be changed by authorised officials.
