Coach,

When in a match do you continue to play until someone wins by two? Or is it the first person to 21.

Hi Andrew,

You have to win by at least 2 points.  If the score gets to 10 all then you have one serve each and you play until one player gets 2 points ahead.

Hi Andrew,

Games are now only played up to 11 with 2 serves each before changing servers.
