Old School Skinny Singles Rules of Play (cross court only)
Skinny Singles is played according to the same rules as Singles, except for otherwise noted below…
The unique feature of Skinny Singles is that at each end, only one of the two courts (i.e., the right [even] or the left [odd] court) is “in play” during a rally.
The player’s position is determined by the server’s individual score.
When a player’s score is even, the player serves and plays from the right (even) court (cross court only)
When the player’s score is odd, the player serves and plays from the left (odd) court (cross court only)
This means that some rallies will be played:
Cross-court from the right (even) courts (when the score is 0-0, 2-6, 8-2, etc.)
Cross-court from the left (odd) courts (when the score is 1-1, 3-7, 9-5, etc.)
TIP FOR THE SERVER: There is no difference from full-court singles for the server’s position. After a side out, the server starts serving from the right or left court according to their score. If the server wins the rally, a point is scored and the server switches courts for the next rally. The server continues switching courts as long as points are scored.
