• Match length: The game mode in the team competitions is Best of 9 , ie 5 games won are enough to win the set.

• Alternating break: The first kick is played, then the players or teams take turns, regardless of who wins.

• Alternating shot: in team competitions, the players rotate after each shot to the next player on their own team. In team competitions, for example, this means that the player who picks up the ball does not return to the table until the sixth ball to be played.

• Time limit for the shot: Each player has 30 seconds to execute his shot. However, this rule does not apply to the first shot after kick-off, each player then has 60 seconds to look at the situation on the table.

This rule is intended to prevent the players from holding the balls together in the smallest possible space by means of a controlled soft break .
