b. Match Format:
Matches will be played to 15 points (win by 2) stopped at 21 regardless of win margin.

The net shall be set at the standard height of 36 inches at the sidelines and 34 inches at the center.
c. Boundaries:
All lines on the court are considered in play, including the baseline, sidelines, and kitchen lines.
3. Serving Rules
a. Legal Serve:
Serves must be made underhand with the paddle contacting the ball below the waist.
The serve must clear the net and land in the diagonal service court.
Players are allowed only one serve attempt, unless the ball touches the net and lands in the correct service court (let serve).
b. Sequence of Serve:
In doubles, both players on a team will serve before the serve is turned over to the opposing team, except at the start of each game, where only one player serves.

Points can only be scored by the serving team. Matches will follow traditional rally scoring rules unless otherwise specified.
b. Win Condition:
A team must reach the designated point total ( 15 points, depending on the game) and win by at least 2 points.
In case of a tied score 14-14 , play continues until one team achieves a 2-point lead or stop with first team reaching 21 points regardless of win margin.
5. Faults
Faults result in the loss of a serve or a point for the offending team. Examples include:
Serving the ball out of bounds or into the net.
Volleying the ball while standing in the non-volley zone (kitchen) or stepping into the kitchen after hitting a volley.
Hitting the ball out of bounds.
