Rules
The official FIR Racketlon Rules apply. See www.racketlon.net.

Note especially some of the doubles specific rules:
- For table tennis, badminton and tennis, all matches are played in doubles. Squash is an exception though where half a singles match each is played; The "first" players start and play until 11 is reached, then the "last" players continue the match to a finish. In each pair the "first" player has to be the same throughout the tournament.
- In all sports (except, of course, squash) ends are switched at 11. In table tennis, the player who was in turn to serve before the switch starts serving on the new end. The receiving pair, however, has to swap at 11 so that each of the servers get to serve on different receivers after the swap.
