Badminton

Counting is done in badminton on points and in sets. Since 2006, according to a new counting method - the so-called Rally - Point method - counted. Each of the parties, regardless of the right to serve in an error of the opponent's one point. It will be played to 21 points per set two winning sets. A party has won a set when it reaches the first 21 points and this has at least two points more than the opposing party. At 21:20 the game is extended until one party leads with 2 points (up to a maximum of 30 points). A set result of 30:29 is thus possible. For each obtained rally, a point is awarded. In addition, the party that has ruled the previous rally itself receives the right to serve. In previous years, several counting systems were tested. Originally three sets were played to 15 points ( except women's singles - to 11 points), with only the serving party was able to score.

Squash

As in badminton is counted in points and sets also on the squash court. Likewise, each party made ​​in an error of the opponent a point, regardless of the right to serve. The first player who scores 11 points wins the set. With the score at 10:10, however, a two-point distance must be established to win the set (eg 12:10, 13:11, 14:12, etc.). A border at the top, there is not. The game is won when the first player has chosen three sets for itself ( " best of five "). There are also competitions in which the income of two sets is sufficient ( " best of three ").

Tennis

In tennis, the game ( "Match" ) in sets and the sets ( "sets" ) turn in games ( "Games " ) is divided. A sentence is terminated when the first player has won six games. An exception is the score of 6-5 sets. In the case of the leading players must win a seventh game to decide the sentence itself, the final score would thus be 7:5. Can the opponent compensate for 6:6, called a tie-break is played. This winner is the player who scored the first seven points. From a score of 6:6, a two -point distance must be achieved in order to win the set (eg, 8:6 ).

Table tennis

A set ends when a player reaches eleven points profit and thereby has at least two points clear, for example, 11:9, 12:10, 13:11. With the score at 10:10 of the record goes into overtime. This service alternates after each point. The extension ends when a player has won two point lead.

A game consists of several blocks. At regional or national team battles are mostly three winning sets required ( " best of five "). A game ends so after a maximum of five sets ( 3-2 ). For particularly important competitions such as national championships, European or World Championships, but the winner is until after four winning records. After each set, the pages are changed. In the deciding final set, ie at a level of 2:2 ( or 3:3 in four winning records), the pages are changed as soon as a player reaches five points.

Volleyball

In volleyball there is a maximum of five sets ( " best of five "). The game is played to 25 points, the winner must have a two point lead. The teams change sides after each set. Winner of the game is who has won the first three sentences. A fifth set, also called decision or set tie-break will be played to fifteen points or also with at least two points difference. Moreover, in this last sentence, the teams change sides after the first team reaches eight points.

In some competitions, especially in the youth field, is only played on two winning sets ( " best of three "). The third movement is a decisive set so carried out as described above for the fifth set.

In beach volleyball is played on two winning sets ( " best of three "). A set ends after 21 points, the third after 15 - but always with at least two points difference. For both teams the same conditions with respect to the weather conditions, such as solar or wind, have, change sides after every seven points played.
