The quotes below are quotes taken from Jordan's initial posts regarding this seasons change in format. It seems to me that they explicitly indicate when a second doubles match is allowed:
- If both teams field 8 players
- If one team fields 8 and one fields 7. Even then, it is up to the team that fields 8 if they want to play in a second doubles match.

If one team has 8 and the other team has 7 then the team with 8 can decide if they want to sit a player and play a bonus singles match or play dubs against the other team's cali player in a bonus dubs match.
