FITEQ, the governing body of Teqball, has announced significant rule changes based on extensive testing during recent competitions, aim to enhance gameplay, improve the flow of rallies, provide profound tactical features and ensure clearer interpretations of certain match situations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new rules includes allowing opponents change service after every 2 points.\u00a0The change was made after testing showed that more frequent service changes lead to a more balanced distribution of serving opportunities and contribute to a more dynamic rhythm of play.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another clarification has been introduced regarding edgeballs occurring during gameplay.\u00a0
If an edgeball occurs during gameplay after the first service, the rally must be re-played and play must restart with a new first service.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If an edgeball occurs during gameplay after the second service, the rally must be re-played and play must restart with a new second service.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The change was made to ensure consistent decisions when edgeballs occur during rallies while maintaining the appropriate service count.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A further update introduces a regulation concerning smashes leaving the Field of Play.\u00a0Each athlete (in singles) or pair (in doubles) are now allowed two smashes per set that result in the ball leaving the Field of Play.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The change is designed to allow players to explore a wider range of attacking options, encouraging more dynamic tactics still preserving the spectacular element of smashes while contributing to longer and more engaging rallies.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These latest changes were tested during the Challenger Teqball League \u2013 Gy\u0151r and the Challenger Teqball League \u2013 Odorheiu Secuiesc events, where athlete feedback was overwhelmingly positive. The modifications were found to improve the clarity of decisions and contribute to a smoother flow of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
