Can be either singles or doubles, but it will always be 2v1. So for singles, 1 person against a team of 2 playing singles points. For doubles, one doubles team playing against two doubles teams. The solo player or solo team will be trying to get to 16 points before either of the other two players (or doubles teams) get to 8. Play the point out like normal, and the side with two players or two teams will alternate out when they lose a point. If that side wins the point, they stay in for as long until they lose. The solo player or team will always stay in. Then you can rotate roles after a game is finished.
