I've been away from competitive TT for awhile, but still play recreationally. The most recent rule change I am aware of has to do with speed glue use. But I am uncertain as to the exact ruling - speed gluing may have been done away with at some venues. Other than that, the only other "recent" rule changes I am aware of have to do with the increase in size of the ball from 38mm to 40mm, the point change from 21 to 11, and the serve change from 5 in a row to 2 in a row. These last few changes took place a number of years ago. There may also have been changes with respect to color of rubber as applied to each side of the paddle. steve
In tennis, the scoring goes like this:
15,30,40, game. You must win a game by 2 points. So if its 40-40 you must win 2 points in a row to win the game. Once you win 6 games, you win a set. You must also win a set by 2 games. So if it is 5-5, it must go to 7-5 for the set to be over. However, if tied at 6-6, you go into a tiebreaker, which is a system where you serve once, then your opponent serves twice, then you twice, then he/she twice, and so on, until someone wins 7 total points. You must also win a tiebreaker by 2 points, 7-6 will not cut it.
In most major tournaments you must win 3/5 sets. Others win 2/3 sets. You do NOT have to win by 2 sets to win a match.
In Table Tennis, you go to a score of 21. You serve in 5 serve intervals. For example, you serve 5 total times, then your opponent serves 5 times, and so on. You play until somebody reaches 21 points, and you must win by 2 points. Just like in real tennis, a serve that strikes the net is called a let. And a reserve. However, there are no faults in Table Tennis. A missed serve is a loss of point.
Another Rule that is different in Table tennis, this is not necessarily scoring, but is important. When serving, the Ball must leave your hands and be 3 inches from your toss hand before you make contact with the ball, and you must make contact with your paddle behind the baseline. Also, in table tennis, a serve must first bounce on YOUR side of the court, then on your opponents. After the serve, the hits must now NOT land on your own side first, and just bounce on your opponents. Those are the differences in the two sports.
Sorry it was long and ranty, but hopefully you can now play either sport with no issues.
