In official ping pong games, players must win a point by scoring 11 points and leading by at least 2 points to win a game. Matches are typically best of 5 or 7 games. Each player serves 2 points in a row, then the serve switches to the opponent. If the score reaches 10-10, players alternate serving after every point until one player wins by 2 points.
