Rally-point scoring
Every rally scores one point, counted 1, 2, 3, instead of 15, 30, 40. It is the scoring Americanos and Mexicanos use, and it is not one of the FIP scoring methods.
Wat er anders is dan bij een standaardwedstrijd
15, 30, 40, games and sets are replaced by a simple count. There is no deuce, advantage, star point or golden point. The serving order of a normal set does not apply, so a pattern must be agreed.
De regels
Each rally scores one point for the pair that wins it, on either side's serve. Points are counted 0, 1, 2, 3 and so on. The first pair to reach the target wins, with a two-point lead if agreed. Or play a fixed total and add up the points. The serve passes on as agreed. A common pattern is a set number of points per server, for example two to four. Serving rules do not change: two serves, and two faults lose the rally. Ends are changed as agreed. One option is to borrow the FIP tie-break rule and change ends every 6 points.
Zo organiseer je het
Agree the target or total, and the winning margin. Agree who serves first and how often the serve passes. Agree when to change ends, if at all. Call the score out loud before each serve: server's score first is the usual habit.

Not as a match format. The FIP rules give advantage, star point and golden point games, plus tie-breaks. Rally points are for social and recreational play.
