Hi Keno,

Yes this is a game playing under the expedite rule.

The umpire is counting how many shots the receiver has put back on the table.  If they get 12 shots on then they automatically win the point.

Hi Viet.  You are completely right.  I don’t know why I wrote 12.

 So there's a rule that if the reciever, so the opposite of the server, puts thirteen shots back on the table it's automatically their point in any sort of game?

Take a look at the rule on expedite.

2.15  THE EXPEDITE SYSTEM 
2.15.01  Except as provided in 2.15.2, the expedite system shall come into operation after 10 minutes' play in a game or at any time when requested by both players or pairs. 
2.15.02  The expedite system shall not be introduced in a game if at least 18 points have been scored. 
2.15.03  If the ball is in play when the time limit is reached and the expedite system is due to come into operation, play shall be interrupted by the umpire and shall resume with service by the player who served in the rally that was interrupted; If the ball is not in play when the expedite system comes into operation, play shall resume with service by the player who received in the immediately preceding rally.  
2.15.04  Thereafter, each player shall serve for 1 point in turn until the end of the game, and if the receiving player or pair makes 13 correct returns in a rally the receiver shall score a point.

Can the players decide if they don't want to use the expedite system?

Alois Rosario

Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 10 years ago

No they can’t.

And also when it is saying 18 points does it mean one persons points or the sum of both players points?

Alois Rosario

Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 10 years ago

It is the sum of both player’s points.
