The objective is to score points by grounding the ball on the opponent's court or forcing errors. Heres a quick overview: ### Basic Rules & Gameplay 1. Scoring: - Matches are typically best-of-5 sets (first to win 3 sets). - Each set is played to 25 points (must win by 2), except the 5th set (if needed), which goes to 15. - Rally scoring: A point is scored on every serve, regardless of which team served. 2.
