7:10–7:20 — Men's warm-up
7:20–9:30 — Matches: Men's and Women's leagues alternate round by round (5 rounds each, 12 min per round: 10 min game + 2 min turnaround)

Games are played to 10 minutes or first to 15 (whichever comes first), with a 2-minute turnaround between games
3 courts running simultaneously
Each pair plays a new opponent every round
