The simplest way I have heard it phrased is:
"You can't hide a player in doubles."
with the follow-up of:
"A player MUST play at least ONE singles round, or NONE of their rounds count."
Wes, sounds like that that would supersede what you quoted above, and it would mean that none of the rounds of the player that played only doubles would count.
Jordan, please correct me if I am wrong, this is not an official post, but I think I am pretty freshly informed on this.

This is dead on. Any doubles matches that include a player who fails to play a singles round in the event is forfeited. This is a handicapped league, and if you do not play a rated singles match your handicap cannot change and you do not help to set the handicaps for all.
And as Wes has astutely pointed out, I have yet to update the rules for this year to incorporate the changes I have made. I shall endeavor to accomplish a rules revision prior to the start of the 2nd event.
There are few things in life I love more than quoting rules by number, so I gotta give Wes props for that. But I am going to rule against him on this due to the fact that this topic came up in this thread and was answered with the simple rule of: You can't hide a player in dubs.
I will make sure to re-write this section of the rules to be more clear on this point going forward.

This confuses me. The dubs match is forfeited.
