Draw lots with the opponent who will serve first. The player who wins the toss will then serve. When serving, the ball must first touch your side of the table, fly over the net and touch the side of the opponent's table. If the ball touches your side, but does not touch the opponent's side, a point is awarded to the opponent. After the filing, the game itself takes place. Your task is to hit the ball sent by your opponent to your side of the table, to hit it so that the ball touches the opponent's side. The game continues until one of the players makes a mistake. Each player has two serves, then the service goes to the opponent, the opponents are constantly changing serves.
