RULES

Bring a friend, relative or co-worker to the Club or find a playing partner at Trolley Car! When you arrive, sign in and follow the fair play rules to play the winner at a table. If a table is already open, go ahead and play! Check out the complete set of table tennis rules here.

Scoring

A typical match is the best 3 out of 5 games. The first player to reach 11 points wins that game (although a game must be won by at least 2 points) Each player serves two points in a row. However, if a score of 10-10 is reached, then each player serves only one point before switching servers. After each game, the players switch sides of the table. In the final 5th game, the players switch sides again after either player reaches 5 points.
