Game details:

The rule always impacts the server the base start for a game when the score is level (ie: 1-1, 2-2, 3-3) is 15-30 scoreline with the server allowed 4 first serves in the game, the server has to say before point starts if they are doing a first serve. One serve for all the other points.

If a player is down and serving (1-2, 1-3, etc) then the scoreline is 30-0 and the server gets 5 first serves in the game.

If a player is up and serving (2-1, 5-3, etc) then the scoreline is 0-30 and the server gets 3 first serves in the game.

Also throughout the entire match, this rule applies- if the returner can on the second serve return have a winner or a forced error off the 2nd serve they get to take away 1 first serve.

Format: 1 set to 6 with deuce being normal. If 6-6 then standard tie break to 7.
