"Para table tennis Para table tennis is a disabled sport which follows the rules set by the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF). The usual table tennis rules are in effect with slight modifications for wheelchair athletes. Athletes from disability groups can take part. Athletes receive classifications between 1-11. Classes 1-5 are for those in wheelchairs and classes 6-10 for those who have disabilities that allow them to play standing. Within those groups, the higher classification means the more function the athlete has. Class 11 is defined for players with an intellectual disability. The roles of classification are to determine eligibility"
"Point (tennis) A point in tennis is the smallest subdivision of the match, the completion of which changes the score. A point can consist of a double fault by the server, in which case it is won by the receiver; otherwise, it begins with a legal serve by one side's server to the receiver on the other, and continues until one side fails to make a legal return to the other, losing the point. Four points win a game, counted as 15 (1 point), 30 (2 points), 40 (3 points). A game must be won by at least two points."
"a new point. A game consists of a sequence of points played with the same player serving. A game is won by the first player to have won at least four points in total and at least two points more than the opponent. The running score of each game is described in a manner peculiar to tennis: scores from zero to three points are described as """"love"""", """"15"""", """"30"""", and """"40"""", respectively. If at least three points have been scored by each player, making the player's scores equal at 40 apiece, the score is not called out as ""40-40"", but"
"50 wins. Scoring is calculated continuously, so if a player is currently on 49 points at the start of a game they only have to win one point for the game to end. There is a variation invented in 2005, called ""mini-Jordache"", where the first person to 25 points wins. Played in both singles and doubles forms by people in wheelchairs. The main difference is that the ball may bounce twice before it is hit, the second bounce may even be outside the court. All four Grand Slam tournaments include wheelchair tennis. There is an evolution in tennis training that"
"Tennis (paper game) Tennis is an (abstract) strategic pencil and paper game for two players. The game field consists of 4 fields and a centre line. These are called (-2,-1,0,1,2), with negative numbers belonging to player 1, positive to player 2. At start, the ball is at the centre line (0). Both players start with the same initial number (e.g. 50 points). In each draw, both players choose a number, and the ball is moved towards the player with the smallest number. The number that was chosen reduces the points for the next draws. The aim of the game is"
"at least 20 games in the match earns two points. A team that loses a match tie but wins at least 10 games earns one point. Each team will play 12 matches: three at home, three on the road and six at neutral sites. Each match comprises five sets each of a different category as follows: The order of play is decided by the coach of the home team. If two teams are playing at a neutral site, then a coin toss determines which coach chooses the order of play. The first serve in the first set is determined by"
"individual (or double) tries to score 21 points in order to be declared a winner, but the winner must maintain a lead of two points over the opponent to win. A game consists of 3 sets of 21 points; the winner of 2 sets wins the match. However, a time limit of 30 minute is in place per set. Thus a server should win a point within nine rallies; failing to do so will then result in a point for one's opponent. The game may be played in singles (one player per side) or doubles (a pair per side). Faults"

If the score reaches 10:10, play will be extended automatically until one of the teams takes the lead by 2, or is the first to win 15 points (scores may therefore end 15-14). The number of winning sets varies depending on the game class, but is generally played to best of five or three. In some cases, set results are limited by time, and this can be common in large tournaments for organizational purposes. The most important errors (i.e. points to the opposing"
"Table tennis Table tennis, also known as ping-pong, is a sport in which two or four players hit a lightweight ball back and forth across a table using small rackets. The game takes place on a hard table divided by a net. Except for the initial serve, the rules are generally as follows: players must allow a ball played toward them to bounce one time on their side of the table, and must return it so that it bounces on the opposite side at least once. A point is scored when a player fails to return the ball within the"
"5-5, the player must then win by two games, however at 6-6, a tiebreak is played to determine who wins the set. The tiebreak rules are the first player to reach seven points win the tiebreak and set, at 6 points all, the player who wins two consecutive points wins the tiebreak and the set. -The Games per set option allows the player to choose the number of games to win a set. The minimum is two games and the maximum is 6. -Sets per Match determines how many sets are in the match. As with typical tennis, you can"

Goals scored outside of the 17-yard arc are worth two points and those scored in front of the 13-yard arc are worth one point. Offensive players are not allowed to be in front of the ball in order for two-point goals to count. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins the match. In 2004, the Tennis Director at Camp Awosting in Bantam, Connecticut created the"

A tennis match is composed of points, games, and sets. A set consists of a number of games (a minimum of six), which in turn each consist of points. A set is won by the first side to win 6 games, with a margin of at least 2 games over the other side"
"must remain equal, or be one different. For example, you can't have two ladies, but a lady and a gentleman is fine. A couple will score 2 points; a table of 3 will score 3 points; while a full table of four will score 4 points. If a table is completed with 4 patrons from the same nationality, then that earns 8 points. Coloured chips are used to record points. At the end of their turn, players refresh their hand back up to 5 tiles. However if a single nationality table was formed, then the players hand size is reduced"

Possible melds are: Once the talon is exhausted, players must follow suit or, if unable to do so, play a trump. The winner of the last trick gets 10 points. The game is normally played for 1000 points. Scoring of melds is usually done at the time of the meld; card points are totted up after the last trick. However, if one player is approaching 1,000 points, card points are also added up as they are won"
"Tie Break Tens Tie Break Tens is a tennis format in which only tie-break matches are played. There are no games or sets, only tie-break matches and the winner is the first player to reach 10 points and lead by a margin of two. Most other traditional rules of tennis are the same. The winner takes all prize money is US$250,000 for each tournament. To date prize money paid out totals over US$1 million. It is a short-format version of tennis, similar to other alternative forms of traditional sports, such as T20 Cricket and rugby sevens. The inaugural Tie Break"
"Golden set In tennis, a golden set is a set which is won without dropping a single point. This means scoring the 24 minimum points required to win a set 6–0, without conceding any points. In professional, top-tier tennis, this has been accomplished only a few times. A golden match, in which an opponent does not lose a single point in an entire ""match"", has only been recorded three times in the history of competitive tennis, and never in a best of 5 set match. Hazel Wightman of the United States recorded the first competitive golden match in 1910. It"
"The first side scoring 11 points leading by at least two points wins the game. If the two sides are tied at 10 points apiece, the side that goes ahead by two points wins the game. Tournament games may be played to 15 or 21 points with players rotating sides at 8 or 11 total points respectively. The server or server and partner usually stay at the baseline until the first return has been hit back and bounced once. At the beginning of a doubles game before any serving, the score is 0-0. Then the side serving first gets only"
"team. If no player went out, the win is determined by the lightest hand, sometimes only the excess points held by opponents. A game is generally played to 100 points, the tally being kept on paper. In more common games, mainly urban rules, games are played to 150, 200, or 250 points. In some games, the tally is kept by creating , where the beginning of the house (the first 10 points) is a large +, the next 10 points are O, and scoring with a five is a /, and are placed in the four corners of the house."

If the sequence of serving and receiving is out of turn or the ends are not changed, points scored in the wrong situation are still calculated and the game shall be resumed with the order at the score that has been reached. In addition to games between individual players, pairs may also play table tennis. Singles and doubles are both played in international competition, including the Olympic Games since 1988 and the Commonwealth Games since 2002. In 2005, the ITTF announced that doubles table tennis only"

A player's score is determined by her weighted-point total, which is determined by multiplying her score at each stage by a coefficient that weighs later results more heavily than earlier results. The coefficient used for each point in the finals (4.5) is slightly more than twice that used for each point in the semi-finals (2.2), which is slightly more than twice that used for each point in the preliminaries (1). Thus, a player who wins all of his games except for one draw in the"
"whether the tournament provides ""hospitality"" (food and lodging) to the players, determines the number of points a player gets for winning each match in the tournament. ""Hospitality"" moves the points distribution up one level and the points to the overall winner range from 80 points for a $40,000 tournament to 125 points for a $220,000 tournament with ""hospitality"". In contrast, the ATP-level tournaments offer total prize money from $400,000 to over $6 million and points to the overall winners from 250 to 1500. As a point of reference, player rankings are based on points accumulated in the previous 52 weeks,"

A team wins the game by scoring at least 500 points; if two teams score 500 or more in the same hand, one by winning their contracted bid and the opponent by winning some tricks, only the team winning the bid wins the game (""goes out the front door""), although some Australian versions (see below) hold that winning the game at any time requires winning a bid.

Points are determined according to the face value of the tile (e.g. a red 3 = 3 points & a black 11 = 11 points). A round is completed when there are no more tiles left to draw from the bank or when one of the players has completed his/her hand (tiles on the rack).

From that point on in the game, whenever the score is tied, it is described as ""deuce"", regardless of how many points have been played. In standard play, scoring beyond a ""deuce"" score, in which both players have scored three points each, requires that one player must get two points ahead in order to win the game. This type of tennis scoring is known as ""advantage scoring"" (or ""ads""). The side which wins the next point after deuce is said to have the advantage. If they lose"

There is no extra point for over-trick, so players should try to bid to their full potential. There is a penalty for under-trick to prevent reckless pre-emptive bidding; the opponent score 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 points... and so on, depending on the number of under-tricks. The points for each game are recorded on a piece of paper with four columns for four players. In each game only"

Score calling in tennis is unusual in that each point has a corresponding call that is different from its point value. For instance if the server has won three points so far in the game, and the non-server has won one, the score is ""40-15"". When both sides have won the same number of points then: when each side has won one, or two, points, the score is described as ""15-all"" and ""30-all"" (or ""15-up"" and ""30-up""), respectively.

However, to win, a team must reach (or exceed) 42 on offense, meaning that a team with a point total near 42 must win the bid, meet its contract, and exceed 42 points to be considered the winner. This also means that a team with 41 points cannot play defense and, by winning one trick, get 42 and win (in a hand where the contracting side meets its contract). The exception to this rule is when"

Each player serves two serves at a time, and except in table tennis, this is always one serve from the right side and one serve from the left side of the court. Lots are drawn to decide who starts serving in table tennis, and this player will also start serving in squash. The winner of a racketlon match is the player or doubles pair who has won the most points in total. When a player leads a match"
