Table Ball Tournament

Table Ball Tournament Rules

• Single Elimination Tournament (One Loss and you're out) 

• No arguing with tournament supervisors.

• Rock, Paper, Scissors to decide who Serves first - Serve by ROLLING the ball across the other EDGE/SERVING LINE of table. (Serve must make it across the opposite edge of table.) 

• Make sure opponent is ready for serve!

• Ball must bounce 1x before STRIKING the ball so it lands back on top of table.

  • If ball bounces 2x on ground the other person gets 1 point.

  • If ball DOES NOT touch table on volley, or hits side/edge and drops to floor the other person gets 1 point.  *The ball can bounce/roll on table as many times as possible as long as hits the floor after*

• Play up to 5 points, Rally Scoring (somebody scores every serve), whoever wins the point serves.  First to 5 points wins. (7 minute time limit each game, will be enforced by Mr. Craig

• Use 1 or 2 Hand(s) to Volley -- 

  • YOU ARE STRIKING, NOT THROWING THE BALL to VOLLEY IT. Throwing results in point for oopponent.

  • Can only strike the ball 1 time (not multiple times) to get back on table to opponent.

• Over aggressive serve = a reserve. (Must be called on serve, not after serve returned.
