The sport is played with two or four players hitting a ball with rackets back and forth to each other on a table, in a manner similar to tennis. The rules are slightly different, but the concept is very similar. In singles play, the serve is not required to cross from the server's right-hand court to the receiver's right-hand court or left to left as it is in tennis. However, serving across is required in doubles play. Ball spin, speed, placement, strategy and tactics play an important part in competitive table tennis matches. The speed of the ball can vary from slow serves with much spin to smashes that travel as fast as 112.5 kilometers per hour.
The winner is the first to score 11 points or more while being ahead by 2 points or more. Players alternate serves every two points. At 10-10 the players alternate with every serve; the winner is then the first person to gain a two point advantage over his opponent.
