Rules and Scoring
A match can consist of 1, 3 or 5 “sets”. A “set” is made up of a maximum of 11 games. A “set” is won by the first person to win 6 “games”. The first person to win 3 “sets” wins the match.
During a “game” your score increases for each point won as follows: “LOVE”, “15”, “30” and “40” and “Game”. The first to “Game” point wins the game.
If both players reach “40”, a “DEUCE” is declared. One player must win the “Advantage” and hence “Game”, by winning 2 consecutive points.
A game starts with the player “serving” the ball. The ball must be served into the box between the net and the other player, otherwise a “Fault” is incurred.
If the ball hits the net and lands on your side of the net, a “Net” is given. This serve is ignored.
If you incur 2 “faults” in a serve you lose a point.
At the start of each point the same player serves the ball for the duration of that “game”. With each new game the players take turns having the “serve” for that game.
Players then hit the ball back and forth to each other. The ball can only bounce once before being returned otherwise you lose a point.
If you do not return the ball at all you will also lose a point.
