The Rules

• Each match will be best two out of three games.

Playing the Game

• Serve must bounce on both ends of the table
• Play-after the bounce on your side, hit the ball back to your opponent’s side and bounce on the table. If you hit before the ball bounces, you lose a point.
• If the ball doesn’t land on the other end because it goes out of bounds, you lose a point.
• Fall on the net- if the ball is hit to the net and doesn’t land on the other end, you lose a point
• Bounce twice or more- player on that side loses a point
• Freehand- the hand that’s not holding the paddle cannot touch the table. If it does touch-fault, lose a point
