Rules
Prajjwal Dimri Asked 13 years ago
Hi,
I just want to know that in a match how many times i can do reserve. Like In a match my opponent's serve hit the net 3 times. Is it legal to reserve many times?

Hi Prajjwal,
If you make a mistake with your serve, that is you serve a fault, you lose the point straight away.
However if you serve a let, that is where the ball touches the net and still goes on correctly, you never lose a point, even if you serve 10 or 20 lets in a row.
I hope this clears the rule up for you.

Yes. I beat the best player Manish(who is 2 year older than me) by 11-9, 13-15, 11-2.
That sounds really good. A couple of close games there as well. They are always pleasing to win. Well keep going now...
