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.

Doubles Serving Rules

In this video we go over the somewhat complicated rules of serving for doubles in table tennis. There are a couple of extra rules for doubles that you don't apply to singles. In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.

Hi Andrew,

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