- FORMAT
- A match is divided into 4 Quarters of 6 minutes; plus, a possible sudden death (if 2-2).
- Each team must field at least two doubles pairs, with men’s, women’s, and mixed doubles all allowed.
- First team to win 3 quarter win the match
Example
Match score: Team A defeats Team B 3-2 (14-12, 11-15, 12-10, 15-16, 2-1) - If in case of a draw 2-2 (2 quarters each), it’s sudden death : the first team to score 2 points in a row wins (players serve in turn). The team which has won the most points during the 4 quarters decides whether to serve or receive.
- During the 6 minutes, teams score as many points as possible (with a simplified counting like tie-breaks… 1-0, 2-0, 2-1, 3-1, etc)
CHRONO – TIME
- If a point is in progress when the 6 minutes bell rings, the point continues to the end.
- 15 seconds maximum between points. The server team controls the tempo (provided the receiver is given at least 5 seconds).
- 2 minutes of rest during side changes between quarters.
SERVE
- One serve ball (immediate loss of the point for a serve fault) and “No-Let” rule apply.
- Two serve points each (one on tie side, one on advantage side)
