Table Tennis at the 2024 Summer Olympic Games: Scoring system

Games are won when the first player or team reaches 11 points while leading by at least 2 points. The player who wins the best of seven games wins the singles match. Team matches consist of four singles matches and one doubles match, each played over the best of five games. In determining the server for points, after a coin toss determines the initial serve, the receiving player/team becomes the serving player/team after two points have been scored. This rotation continues until the end of the game or until a match is tied at 10, at which point players or teams alternate service after every point. The player or pair who serves first in a game will receive first in the next game of the match. In doubles, the serving rotation changes after each game so that the players receive from the server they did not receive from in the previous game.
