TABLE TENNIS MAJESTAD

SCORING SYSTEM
A game shall be won by the player first scoring 11 points unless both players score 10 points, when the game shall be
won by the first player subsequently gaining a lead of 2 points.
A match shall consist of the best of any odd number of games. In competition play, matches are typically best of five or
seven games.
A point is scored by the player for any of several results of the rally:
• The opponent fails to make a correct service or return.
• The ball touches anything except the net component after a service or return before being hit by the other player.
• After being hit by the opponent, the ball leaves the player's court or passes their end line without touching their court.
• The opponent blocks the ball.
• The opponent strikes the ball twice successively. Note that the hand that is holding the racket counts as part of the
racket and that making a good return off one's hand or fingers is allowed. It is not a fault if the ball accidentally hits one's
hand or fingers and then subsequently hits the racket.
• The opponent moves the playing surface or touches the net assembly.
• The opponent's free hand touches the playing surface.
• The opponent that has been warned by the umpire commits a second offense in the same individual match or team
match. If the third offence happens, 2 points will be given to the player.
