Topic: win by 2

[mudfarmer]

"The final game of the match shall be to 5 points but you must win by 2 up to a maximum of 8 points."

in best of 3 to advance does this rule apply if the 2nd game is the final game, or does it only apply if the match goes to game 3?

another thought, when and why did we switch from tap/serve to set/ready? it takes an element away from the game IMHO.

I can't pull up the rule book at work so I don't know about the 1st question, but here is a link :

 As far as the serve, it was an ITSF thing. Just get use to it. I just try to look at the bright side, I will never ever foos the ball to my oponent ever again.
