In the singles field, two participants play against each other in short sets to 5 points. The first player to score 5 points wins the match (right to play after winning the rally). After a match, new opponents are sought spontaneously. The winners of a game always start the next game with 0 points, the losers take the points they have already scored into the next game. This means that a game can also start with a score of 4:3 or 3:0. However, these matches also end if the initial score is increased to 5 points. This is therefore a very social form of play for a tournament format.
Methodological note:
After each completed game, the "free" players hold their racket above their head to recognise who is ready for the next game.
