The scoring is just like tennis (15-0, 15-15, 30-15, etc.), but most players use a golden point at deuce instead of playing to advantage.
When it comes to serving, players alternate serves for an entire game. To decide who serves first, you can flip a coin or play a point for serve.
The serve must be underarm (below the waist) and you need to let the ball bounce once before hitting it. The serve must go diagonally into the opponent’s court from behind the service line.
Serving always starts from the right side (like in tennis), and after that, the service lines don’t matter once the point is live.
A serve that bounces and hits the glass is good! But if it hits the metal fencing, it’s a fault. If the serve hits the net and bounces in the box, then hits the glass, it’s a let and you get to re-serve. But if it hits the net and then hits the fencing, it’s a fault.
If your first serve is a fault, you get a second chance, just like in tennis.
You must let the ball bounce before returning a serve.
You can play off the glass on your own side, but not the metal fencing. If the ball bounces twice on your side, or hits you or your partner while in play, the other team wins the point.
If the ball hits any part of the metal fencing, net posts, or light fixtures before crossing the net, the point goes to the opposition.
All volleys are allowed, except when returning serve.
