Switching Sides

Rules

Tian Louw Asked 7 years ago

Hi!

I was looking all over for the answer to this, but I just can't find one. When do you switch playing sides of the table with your opponent?

Thanks!

Hi Tian,

You switch after each game up to 11.

In the deciding game yo also switch when the first player reaches 5 points.
