So my high school alum has been hosting a community tournament for the past several years. To keep it moving quick and allow for more matches the format has always been a single 8 game pro set. This year I suggested moving to a fast 4 format for 2 main reasons.
1. It's the same number of games so it shouldn't take any longer.
2. It allows more opportunity for comebacks because any breaks of serve are reset after the first set.
We'll see if he takes my advice but I think it's a good idea. Especially as someone who most years has gone down an early break then play well the remainder of the match but have not been able to break back for the remainder of the set and loosing 6-8.
Am I missing anything? Is there any advantages to the 8 game set vs fast 4? I think if it were fast 4 there would still be ad scoring which I'm happy about.
