Coman Tiebreak Rule Card

Description

Enjoy playing USTA League tennis but always feel at a loss when things go to a tiebreak? Well, meet your new best friend! This is a sturdy 4"x6" full color glossy card with all the tricky little details about how to play a Coman Tiebreak. The Coman Tiebreak is the type of tiebreak used in almost all USTA leagues, tournaments, and championship play. If you're looking for something to help you keep track of standard tiebreaks then see my other listing for the
Standard Tiebreak Rule Card
.
A Coman Tiebreak is very similar to a Standard Tiebreak except for the fact that the two players (or teams if playing doubles) switch sides of the court after the first point and then every 4 points thereafter. This unusual switching pattern is generally recognized as being a much fairer system as it keeps all players serving from the same side that they served on during the set and it is somewhat easier to follow.
A tiebreak can occur at two different times: 1.) When a set is tied at 6-6 or 2.) When the match is tied at 1 set each. Both types of tiebreaks are similar with only minor differences between the two. This handy and durable card has two sides - Side one details the rules for the 7 point Set Tiebreak (Situation 1) and side 2 details the rules for the 10 point Match Tiebreak (Situation 2).
This card will help you keep track of what to do and when and can be an aid in resolving disputes and making sure that everyone knows and agrees on exactly what to do and when. Do you know who serves the first point of a set tiebreak and from which side? Do you know who should serve the first point of the next set? If you're like me then you think you do until you get in a match play scenario and then you aren't sure and you just do whatever everyone else agrees to. Well from now on, you can be the one with the rules in hand. Make sure that everyone is on the same page. Really, it's better this way.
So, buy one for your bag and one for a friends. Get extras as gifts for people that you play with that don't know the rules. It's handy, it's versatile, and it's a great way to have one less thing to worry about when you're in an important match. Let the card worry about the rules. You just worry about your game. Play on!
