The Rules:

The rules of PPPSO are simple. It resembles a shootout in soccer, and in match games, follows a scoring pattern similar to tennis. The game is played between two people each taking the role of shooter and goalie. Roles are switched after each shot. Each shot is worth one point, and the game is played to ten points. One must also win by two points.

1.

   First establish a goal. A sectioned off piece of wall in your apartment living room will work fine.



2.

   Next, define a line behind which the shooter must stand. Something like a hanger will be okay.



3.

   The game requires a) one ping pong ball and b) one or two ping pong paddles. The goalie is not required to use a paddle while defending the goal, although it is highly recommended.



4.

   If you meet all of the above requirements, and have a friend to play with, then you are ready to play. Decide who will take the first shot, and then take turns shooting shot by shot, until one player reaches a score of ten and wins by two.


* If you wish to play a match game, simply follow the game, set, match scoring system of tennis (excluding individual game scoring).
