When does a table-tennis game end?

A side must reach at least eleven points and lead by two. At 10–10, 11–10 continues and 12–10 ends the game. Choose best of three, five or seven; the first side to win the required majority of games wins the match.

How does the service indicator work?

Service changes every two points until 10–10, then after each point. The side serving first alternates between games. The board distinguishes the next server and receiver and shows how many points remain before the next service change.

How is doubles service order set?

Choose the opening server and receiver. The four-player rotation is server, receiver, server's partner, receiver's partner. For example, A1 serves to B1, then B1 to A2, A2 to B2, and B2 to A1. Each side's players retain fixed identities when names change.

Who receives first in the next doubles game?

The side due to serve first chooses one of its players. The first receiver is the player who served to that chosen server in the previous game's confirmed opening order. The board previews this pairing before you confirm the next game and change ends.

What happens at five in the deciding game?

When either side first reaches five in the final possible game, the displayed ends swap and the doubles receiving pair reverses. The scoreboard pauses rally entry until you confirm the physical end change. Undo restores the prior score, ends and service order.

Can I correct a mistake?

Undo and redo retain fifty changes, including points, end confirmations and new-match resets. Explicit correction controls can change the current server/receiver rotation or swap displayed ends. Service corrections preserve the current service phase and do not rewrite the confirmed opening order used for the next game.

Correct serverCorrect receiver

Service correction establishes a new rotation from the selected server and receiver without resetting how many points remain in the current service turn. It applies to this game, not the recorded opening order used to set the next game. A manual end correction does not reverse doubles receivers. Use Undo to correct a mistaken recent rally.
