Tournament Format
The matches follow a rally point scoring system, where a point is awarded on every rally regardless of who serves. Players serve from the right when the score is even and from the left when the score is odd. Scores are always called with the serving team’s number first, such as “7-5.”
Group Stage: Games to 15 points with a one-minute break at 8 points. If the score reaches 14-14, a golden point decides the winner.
Semi-Finals and Finals: Matches are played to either 15 or 21 points depending on time. A two-point margin is required to win.
Serve Changes: After every rally, the serve switches to the other side.
