Schedule and Format

Each of the three days has four matches, three singles and one doubles. Day one wins are worth one point each, day two wins are worth two, and day three wins are worth three, for 24 points in total. The first team to 13 wins. If the teams are tied 12 to 12 after all 12 matches, a deciding doubles set is played. Because of the scoring, a team can trail after two days and still win with a strong Sunday, which is why the event tends to stay live into the final session.
