Universally, each "match" is divided into "sets", which is divided into "games", which is divided into "points".

Match >> Set >> Game >> Points

In a 2/3 Match, teams play Sets until one team has won 2 Sets.

Sets are won by first to 6 games, while leading by 2 games, otherwise leading to a tiebreaker to determine the winner of the set.

In the case of a game count of 6-6 in a Set, players must play a Set tiebreaker. Set tiebreakers differ for each level of play, but in high school tennis, tiebreakers are usually played as first to 7 points, leading by 2 points. In a tiebreaker, service is alternated differently.

Games are played by points. The first point a player makes grants the player a score of 15, then the next point would grant a total of 30, but the next point would be a total of 40. A score of 0 is pronounced as "love". For example, 40-0 would be pronounced as "fourty love".

In the case of a game count of 40-40, or "deuce", players play a tiebreaker point depending on either ad scoring or no-ad scoring. In no-ad, players only play 1 point for the entire game. Ad scoring plays where one player must lead by 2 points to win the entire game.

Serving and positions are a whole different deal.

To get a point in table you either have to hit the ball in and the other opponent doesn't hit it or the other person hits it and without the ball bouncing on the table, the ball doesn't hit the table.Hope this helped!Enjoy your played-correctly table tennis!

depending on how many stroked you make per hole. you add those up and that's your total after 9 or 18. also, find out what the par is for the course and find out how many over or under you are

In Table Tennis, you score if one of 5 things happens.

1. Your opponent hits the ball out (off the table).

2. Your opponent does not hit the ball over the net.

3. Your opponent hits the ball before it bounces.

4. Your opponent does not hit the ball if it bounces twice.

5. Your opponent does not serve the right way after 2 tries.
