- The dimensions of the field: 12 x 5 meters for the single and 12 x 6 meters for the double.
- The height of the net at the posts must be between 80cm and 91,5cm. For tournaments, the minimum height of the net is 91,5cm.
- Snowshoes should not be shorter than 20,8 inches, and they should be 21,5 inches or less. 21 inch snowshoes made by most well-known brands adhere to this rule. The maximum head size is 107 square inches.
- The official touchtennis ball is made of foam and has a diameter of 8cm.
- If the racket leaves your hand during play, as long as it remains on your side of the field, the point is still in play.
- Lets are not allowed - after service, the point is in play, even if the ball has touched the net.
- Throw the ball for service - once the server throws the ball to serve, he is obliged to hit it. Unlike tennis, we do not tolerate those who throw the ball ten times before serving!
- If, during service, you manage to touch your opponent without the ball bouncing, it is a fault EXCEPT if he is in contact with the service line or if he is inside the service area.
In this circumstance, the server wins the point.
- Unlike tennis, touchtennis only allow one service. There is no second service.
- Warming up is prohibited after your first match. Once each player has played their first game, additional warm-ups are prohibited for the rest of the day.
If a tournament lasts two days or more, a 3-minute warm-up is allowed for each day of the tournament.
- Vulgarities: any rudeness constitutes an IMMEDIATE penalty point. 3 audible obscenities in a match constitute the immediate elimination of the tournament.
- Racket crash: if you break a racket, you are immediately disqualified.
Even if you break a rope during the match after having abused it, you are obliged to use it until the end of the match.
- Serve: it is allowed to serve with a spoon or over the shoulder. Nevertheless, it is advisable to inform your opponent if you are going to serve with a spoon - that way, he can make fun of you!
- We play short games (up to 4 games, 2 gap games), and if we reach 4-4, we must play a decisive game (up to 5 points, first to 5 points). We can therefore have a score of 5-3, equivalent to 7-5 in traditional tennis, or 5-4, equivalent to 7-6 in traditional tennis.
- Points are counted as in normal tennis (15-0, 30-0, 40-0, game) with the exception of games where there is a tie (40-40). So we play a decisive point and the player who returns chooses the service side (NoAd). This point decides the winner of the game. In decisive games, 4-4 constitutes the decisive point and the winner of this point wins the round.
- In all tournaments, the matches take place in 2 winning rounds.
- In doubles there is no third round. Instead of the last round, there is a decisive game in 7 points (in which we play a decisive point at 6-6).
- During a decisive game, the players must change sides every 4 points. At 4-4 in a decisive game, the player who returns chooses the service side.
