The playing format is as follows:
Lag for 1st break then alternate breaks there after.

Singles players need to remain in position eg. number 1, 2, 3, or 4.
Reserves can be brought into second 4 singles if required.

After the singles each Captain then decides on their doubles for the first 4 frames of doubles. i.e. name your first 2 doubles pairings then same pairings switched for second 2 sets of pairs (reserve players permitted, can bring reserve players in to games sd3 and sd4 if required)
So Doubles is
Home team: Sd1 Sd2 & Sd3 Sd4 stay the same.
Away team: Sd1 Sd2 swap Sd3 Sd4
i.e. SD1 V SD1 sd game 1
SD2 V SD2 sd game 2
SD1 V SD2 sd game 3
SD2 V SD1 sd game 4
5th doubles if required teams nominate players.
