The12-point tie-break is played at 6-all in each set. Procedures and scoring for the tiebreake is as follows:

Serving - The player whose turn it is to serve will be the Server for the first point. His or her opponent will be the Server for the second and third points. Players will continue by serving alternately for two consecutive points until the winner of the game and set has been decided.

From the first point, each serve is delivered alternately from the right and left courts, beginning from the right court. If service from a wrong half of the court occurs and is undetected, all resulting play shall stand, but the error should be corrected as soon as it is discovered.

Changing Ends - Players change ends after every 6 points and at the conclusion of the tie-break game. For example, when the score reaches 4 – 2, the players will switch sides. Note: The player serving immediately prior to a changeover will take their second serve once the changeover is made.

Scoring - Players receive one point for each point won. The tie-break winner is the first player to reach seven points provided there is margin of two points. If there is not a margin of two points, play continues until a two point margin is reached.
