"What you need to know to play a fun game of ping-pong Sometimes all you want to know are the basic rules to play a friendly match of ping pong. This section is for you. If you want more offical rules, read the section below. In singles, the center lines serve no purpose, so ignore them. Scoring A match is played best 3 of 5 games (or 4/7 or 5/9). For each game, the first player to reach 11 points wins that game, however a game must be won by at least a two point margin. A point is scored after each ball is put into play (not just when the server wins the point as in volleyball)." Excerpt from the Official Table Tennis rules: 2.11 A GAME 2.11.1 A game shall be won by the player or pair first scoring 11 points unless both players or pairs score 10 points, when the game shall be won by the first player or pair subsequently gaining a lead of 2 points. 2.12 A MATCH 2.12.1 A match shall consist of the best of any odd number of games. both quotes are from: http://www.pongworld.com/more/rules.php.
