When the question arises

The material is needed for participants of tournaments and club games, where different systems are used and you can not transfer habits from one to another

Как принять решение

До разминки уточните, какая система действует, до скольких очков идёт партия, нужен ли перевес в два очка и как меняется подающий. В стандартном формате сначала отслеживайте владение подачей. В rally scoring — результат каждого розыгрыша и специальные условия концовки, если они есть.

First, reconstruct the observed facts: the players' position, the bounce, the score announced and the moment the draw ends. Then apply the rule. In an argument, habit and confident tone do not replace facts

Start with three checksSystem name published before start; It is clear who gets a point after each draw; The order of change of submission and parties is described.

What to Check in the Episode

  • System name published before start
  • It is clear who gets a point after each draw
  • The order of change of submission and parties is described
  • The purpose of the party and the condition of the end
  • All participants use the same account protocol

How to make sure the rule is understood

Understanding is not tested by retelling a definition, but by the same decision in two or three similar episodes, where the player must name a rule and immediately show the correct action on the court

Where the error occurs

The reason why players argue is not because the system is complicated, but because the organizer has limited himself to "playing the rally." The options for rally scoring may vary in detail. You can't change the system during the match to speed up the schedule

When you need a primary source

An official tournament can specify the score system, the appeal procedure and the role of the referee, and use the current rulebook and published rules to determine the outcome of the competition, rather than the club arrangement

Как закрепить на корте

Перед событием добавьте в памятку один пример счёта и один пример смены подачи. На площадке проведите демонстрационный розыгрыш.

What to remember

If the episode cannot be restored, do not come up with a confident solution in retrospect. In a training game, disassemble the situation after the draw; in a tournament, follow the procedure specified by the organizer
