6.The rule of soft tennis

I would like to explain the way of the game in soft tennis first this time. The game of soft tennis is held by making one pair from two persons. The victory or defeat of a game are decided by preoccupation of four points. When both sides are three points, the state is called juice and the victory or defeat after it are settled by continuation preoccupation of two points. A match is performed in seven games or nine games. It becomes a final game at the time of 3 to 3 and 4 to 4 games, and it determines victory or defeat by preoccupation 7 point. The person who took four games first becomes a winner of the game at the time of seven games. The person who took five games first becomes a winner of the game at the time of nine games.

Next, the method of a play is explained. The game of soft tennis is begun with service, carries out the return of it, and both sides strike it mutually by turns. The service side is called server and the side which receives service is called receiver. Whenever one game of a game of soft tennis finishes, the serve side and return side must exchange with the enemy player. The side of the tennis court is changed whenever it finishes an odd number game. Service of a final game is offered by turns by four persons two point respectively from the team which gave its service to the game before that. The shift of the side is carried out every four points henceforth 2 point of the beginning. When both sides are six points, it becomes juice, and victory or defeat are henceforth decided by continuation preoccupation of two points.

Next, I explain the method of service. You have to do a hit ball with a racket, before the tossed ball falls to the ground, and you have to put it into a service court. One of the server sides offers service 2 point, and then the partner carries out 2 point. It is repeated henceforth. You can give your service twice, and when the first service goes wrong, you get the second service. Service of the beginning of each game is offered from the right-hand side of the center mark toward the net of tennis, and it puts in in the other team service court on a diagonal line. After it, the server changes the position into right and left the whole point.
