| Match Format |
|
The competition
between two players is called a match. The individual games they
play are called legs. The sum total of the legs is called a set.
A match format with “best of five” means a set where
a player needs three legs to win the match; in a match of “
best of 3 sets, best of 7 legs” means a player needs to win
2 sets of best of 7 legs. |

| Performance
Points |
|
Performance points
are ranking points of the NDFP sanctioned events. The allocation
of performance points is based on the number of participants and
the total cash prize of the tournament. The rationale for this allocation
is to give recognition to players and organizers with non-classified
singles, big and small, and to provide an equitable points allocation
system.
There are no membership requirements and any sanctioning fees. Any
organizer can submit to the NDFP their request for sanctioning,
thus inclusion in the Performance Points of the NDFP. |

| Seeding Format |
|
Seeding is an added dimension in the bracketing
of the singles event. Seeded players are players who have gained
ranking classification as the top players in the tournament. This
ranking is based on the NDFP Performance Points.
The first major tournament to use the seeded format was the 1st
Darterong Pinoy in 1998. The seeded format was very crucial for
Darterong Pinoy 1998 was also launching the first single elimination
format for the singles events.
The main rationale of the NDFP for a seeded format is to make
sure that the top players based on their points earned will not
play in the early rounds. This will facilitate the top players
meeting in later rounds thereby generating spectator interest.
In a seeded singles format for top 8 players, the top players
will be bracketed in such a way that they will only play each
other when they reach the top 8, if they reach the top 8 at all,
and not before.
The methodology for determining the seeded players can either
be the rolling-one year cumulative points earned, as is the basis
for the tennis seeding format and utilized by the NDFP.
