Versus
Table tennis is one of the most beloved sports in many companies. If you think of something cost-efficient, easy-to-play and fun then probably ping pong will come to your mind first. In the startup world there aren't any offices without a table tennis conference table. Definitely a good way to shake up the office and make recreation a team effort and having a team building activity on a daily basis. In our opinion everybody should play office table tennis instead of spending time on Facebook with headphones on.
Rules
Ping pong 21, 1vs1
You can customise all the rules
These rules and requirements are just suggestions. This is this activity is done best. Of course, you can choose to have your own rules.
General rules
The rules are probably well-known for everybody. Here’s just a little briefing. The aim is to toss the ball to your opponent’s part of the desk and collect 21 points before your opponent. When you serve the ball has to bounce on your side, then bounce on your opponent’s side. From there the ball has to bounce only on your opponent’s side. A player receives a point, if the other player A) misses the ball; B) tosses back the ball, but the ball doesn’t touch the desk.
Two more, important things in ping pong:
- Who gets the chance to start can be decided in numerous ways. One way is rock-paper-scissors. The second and most popular way is by tossing the ball by hand. The first one who gets a point will start the game.
- How does the serve change? Well, according to the rules the serve passes to the other player in every 2 points. Meaning, if Player A starts the serve, gets a point, then serves again and Player B gets a point, then the total score is 1+1 = 2, so the serve goes to Player B. If the total number of points reaches 4 points, then the serve goes to Player A, and so on… However, if a score of 20-20 is reached in any game, then each server serves only one point and then the server is switched.
Scoring
If Player B makes a mistake, the ball bounces two times on Player B's area, or if the ball doesn't touch Player A's area, Player B scores one point. If a player reaches 21 points, wins. The collected points will be the score in Battlejungle.
