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.
