ITF修正聯邦盃賽則(關於dead rubber) - 網球 Tennis

ITF revises Fed Cup dead rubber policy
07 Feb 2013

The ITF announced today that it has revised the dead rubber policy for all
Fed Cup ties, starting with this weekend’s Fed Cup by BNP Paribas World
Group and World Group II first round ties on 9-10 February.

國際網球總會(ITF)今(7)日宣布，無關勝負點(dead rubber)的賽制修正將從本周末聯邦盃
(Fed Cup)的世界組、世界二組首輪賽事開始實施。

The new policy states that if a tie is decided after the third singles rubber
(ie one nation has a winning 3-0 lead after the first match on Sunday), the
fourth singles rubber will not be played (*) and the dead doubles rubber will
be played instead.

修正如下：如果獲勝國在週日第三點單打取得勝利，則第四點單打不必打，只打無關勝負
的雙打。

However if the tie is decided after the fourth singles rubber (ie one nation
has a winning 3-1 lead), the dead doubles rubber will still be played. A
match tiebreak (first to 10 points) will replace the third set in all dead
doubles rubbers.

但如果獲勝國是在第四點以3-1獲勝，則仍需進行雙打。無關勝負雙打在決勝盤打搶十。

The existing dead rubber policy used in the Fed Cup Final will remain the
same. If a tie is decided after the third singles rubber, the fourth singles
rubber will not be played, and the dead doubles rubber will be played
instead. However if the tie is decided after the fourth singles rubber, the
dead doubles rubber will not be played.

聯邦盃世界組決賽維持原規則：
若獲勝國在週日第三點單打取得勝利，則第四點單打不必打，只打無關勝負的雙打。
若獲勝國在第四點以3-1獲勝，則不必進行雙打。

The revision of the dead rubber policy in Fed Cup follows the successful
introduction of a new dead rubber policy for all Davis Cup ties in 2011.
ITF Executive Vice President Juan Margets said: “The enhancement of the dead
rubber policy came in response to requests from players, captains and
National Associations following its successful introduction in Davis Cup.
This is part of the ITF’s continued effort to make Fed Cup more player
friendly, while maintaining a good spectator experience on the Sunday."

這項修正是跟隨著2011年台維斯盃修正的規則 [#1DRuPBV9 (Tennis)]。
