I watched a video where 2 ladies were playing a rally for more then a minute.The umpire then said 'time'.Is there a time limit rule now?

Hi Jasper,
This will be the "Expedite Rule". If a game goes for more than 10 minutes then all the points after that the server needs to win the point within 13 shots.

Hi Jasper,
I just remembered we covered this in a PingSkills Show called Ma Long's Dominance. Look for the remember when section.

Oh thanks,I wasn't even aware of this rule until recently...And another video I saw was 2 defenders pushing for 10 minutes in 1 point...... No wonder they added this rule

It would be more interesting if it was an attacking rally for such a long time.What do you guys think?

Attack vs attack for 10 minutes in a row?
Considering the effort needed to attack these polypropylen balls,I think it is not physically possible...

If it was possible it would be more entertaining

Offense s much more physicall demanding than pushing. You can try yourself with a robot or multiball partner to succesfully loop against block or loop 10mins in a row
