Games are played using rally scoring: points can be won by the serving or receiving team.
Games are played first to 21 points, win by 2 points
If the receiving team wins the point, the next designated player serves according to the initial sequence. Otherwise, the server switches places with his/her partner and serves to the other receiving team member.
Serves may be struck with any amount of force; short serves are allowed.
If a server serves two faults, the receiving team wins the point. Violation of ANY of the following rules is a fault:
The server must toss the ball upward at least 4 inches.
If the server tosses the ball, he/she must hit it. Dropping, catching, or swinging at and missing a toss all count as a fault.
Serves may not be higher than a receiver’s shoulder when in an athletic stance.
After the serve, any unusual bounce (i.e. pocket) that does not contact the rim is legal and playable.
