What is Rally Point Scoring?

Question: What is Rally Point Scoring?

Answer: In rally point scoring, a point is awarded on every rally regardless of which team is serving. Games are normally played to 25 points in a best of 3 or best of 5 format. In both formats, the last game is only played to 15. You must have a two point advantage to win a game and there are no scoring caps in the rally point system.
