AITA tournaments in the Junior Circuit have a unique way of calculating points for doubles matches. Unlike the senior circuit, where singles and doubles have separate rankings, the junior circuit combines both into one ranking. Here, we break down how doubles points are awarded and how Buzzato can make tracking them easier.

Points System for Doubles Matches

The doubles points system is based on a percentage of singles points. For each round a player reaches in doubles, they earn 25% of the points awarded for the same round in singles. Here's an equivalent table for doubles based on the singles points system:

Singles Points

TS CS SS NS Nationals
R64 - - - 5 20
R32 2 4 5 10 40
R16 6 8 10 20 60
QF 8 10 20 30 80
SF 10 15 30 40 100
F 12 20 40 50 150
W 15 25 50 75 200

Doubles Points

TS CS SS NS Nationals
R16 1.5 2 2.5 5 15
QF 2 2.5 5 7.5 20
SF 2.5 3.75 7.5 10 25
F 3 5 10 12.5 37.5
W 3.75 6.25 12.5 18.75 50

Example Scenarios

To illustrate how doubles points are awarded:

  • Winning a Super Series doubles tournament will earn you 50 * 25% = 12.5 points.
  • Losing in the semifinals of a CS 7-day tournament earns 15 * 25% = 3.75 points.

Important Considerations

Keep in mind that:

  • A maxiumum of 16 pairs play the doubles.
  • Your best 8 doubles tournaments will be added to your total. Same as the singles.
  • There are no qualifying rounds in doubles.
