Up to 11 or 21?
Rules
Jorge Sanchez Asked 14 years ago
Hello, my question is about up to what point does the score go? I've seen times when it goes up to 11 with each player having 2 serves. But many people tell me it is up to 21 with 5 serves each. Which one is true?

Hi Jorge,
The new rule is up to 11 and 2 serves each.
The old rules was up to 21. All international competition is played up to 11 so that is the best way to go for now.
