Hi Nilabhra,

You are only allowed to towel after every 6 points in a game.

Hi Mehmet,

You have 1 minute between games and also there is on Time Out opportunity per match per player or doubles pair.  The Time Out is also for up to 1 minute.

In regards to time-outs, I was following the world championship recently and I noticed a slight change in regards to time-out rules. The moment the person calls time-out returns to the table, even if the one minute is not up, the time-out is over at that moment. Just an observation
