HH and ALL,
No. The 4 singles and doubles are mandatory. The 5th singles is a possible bonus.
I didn't understand the current rules... mostly because I hadn't been in that position before and the last published rules do not reflect the latest changes.
(I have volunteered to retype them.)
I do think the rule should be that the 5th singles is also worth a point, but that is not the way the rules are currently applied.
It does seem to favor having one team member not show up in the AM, or have to leave early, if you don't think your 7th player will match up well. Then, I think, you can still get the 7 man point and not risk losing 2 points.....

(The powers that be are hard at work on the weekend scores, so I think/hope The Commish will wait until tomorrow before clarifying any confusion.)
