Game idea:
Two parties try to score a direct point by skilfully hitting the speeder or to force a mistake by the opposing party.
Scoring:
A point is scored if the speeder lands in the opposing field or the opposing party cannot return the speeder in accordance with the rules.
Playing field:
In singles (1 vs. 1), the playing field consists of two square courts (5.5m x 5.5m) that are set up 12.80m apart (corresponds to a tennis court divided lengthwise).
For doubles (2 against 2), the court widths are doubled (11m x 5.5m), which corresponds to the size of a tennis court.
There is no net
Number of participants:
1 against 1 (singles), 2 against 2 (doubles)
Rules of the game:
A match is played over three winning sets. A set ends with 16 winning points. At 15:15, the set goes into extra time until one of the players has a 2-point lead. After each set, the side is changed to ensure equal opportunities (wind and light conditions). If it comes to a fifth set (deciding set), the sides are switched as soon as one player has reached 8 points.
The right to serve and the choice of side is decided by drawing lots. Each player has 3 serves in a row. Each party can score regardless of the right to serve. If the score is tied at 15:15, the right to serve changes after each point. The service is executed either from the centre of the court or from behind the baseline. When serving, the speeder is dropped from hip height in front of the body and then hit. Overhead serves from a standing or jumping position are only permitted from the back baseline. The first serve of the following set goes to the loser of the previous set.
