How to start a game:
For two players/Singles:
Before stating the game you need to decide who will serve first by tossing a coin. The player who wins the toss may choose to serve first or give a chance to the opponent. When it is your turn to serve, you must stand behind your side and throw the ball up with your free hand and hit by racket/paddle with your other hand so that it should bounce on anywhere on your side of the table, by this it clears the net and bounces again anywhere on opponent side of the table. After you served for first two turns it is the turn to opponent to serve and continue till the end, alternating every two turns.
Score:
The player who plays the ball for longer time will get one point for each serve. You get a point when your opponent not able to serve properly like; the ball bounces more than once in his side, does not receive and hit the ball on your side, hits the ball twice in a row or touches the ball any other than in his racket. It you make this above mistakes then your opponent will get one point for each mistake.
Winner of the game:
The player who scores 11 points first is the winner of the game. Sometimes the players are tied to it happens when both the players score 10 points which is called deuce, so that they must play/continue again to know who will win the game.
For four players/Doubles:
It is much similar to the singles but the serving and playing is alternate. Here in this you and your partner should serve once. Then your opponents both will serve. Here the difference is that when you serve the ball it must reach the specific place so that the other opponent should receive it or else he may get a point. The table must be shared by you and your team-mate. If you are serving from right, your served ball must reach the other opponent who is in same right side. If you are unable to do this, your opponent wins the points.
