The order of matches is pre-determined in all CTL ties. The first match features the team skippers or, as they are referred to, the ‘legends’, followed by a mixed-doubles set. The third match features women’s singles which is followed by men’s doubles. The last set of the tie is men’s singles.
The six teams are divided into two zones, North and South, with each zone comprising of three teams. Each team in a zone plays ‘ties’ against the two other teams, and each tie in turn comprises of five sets.
One of the most commonly misunderstood aspects about the CTL scoring system is how many sets make a match. Actually though, there’s no difference between a set and a match; each ‘match’ is comprised of one ‘set’. Accordingly, it follows that five sets or matches make up one tie between two teams.

Though each set produces a winner, overall victory in a tie is determined by the total games won across the five sets, rather than the number of sets won in the tie. So even if one team wins three out of the five sets (or even four out of five in extreme cases) but wins less games in total than the other team, it would end up as the loser in the ti...
At the end of all the zonal matches – four matches per team in each zone – the top two teams in each zone with the most number of games under their belt will play each other in the final. Currently, after four matches, Delhi is leading the North Zone with 52 games and Hyderabad is at the top of the South Zone, again with 52 games. The infographic b...
