Let’s start with the rules.
It is common that when we take a “pachanga” we rely on the table to get to balls that are closer to the net and we raise the body to the table. For all that is forbidden. The slightest contact with the table and not with the shovel and the opposite is penalized wins the point.
If a double play the ball must be struck alternately by each of the components. That is, first the right then the left when the opponents return the ball, so until someone wins the point.
Before the game, players must agree on if they want to play best of 3 or 5 sets . The sets are played until a participant reaches the 11 points with two goals difference . If you come to a tie at 10 one should reach 12 and so on until you get the difference of two points.
In the serve must bounce the ball once in the field that pulls out and another in the opponent , if the latter bounces more than twice the serving wins the point. If the ball touches the net, but fulfills all the above can be re-shoot. If it happens again the same thing again until the pull out is not valid or check both.
