Jance Rubinchik: Service Breaker, Rule Maker

Take it away, Jance:

"In the interest of making this tournament go smoothly here are the official rules concerning rallying for serve.

The rally begins when the two teams have decided they have wasted enough time warming up.

Once the rally is won:

- The winning team can choose to serve or choose to give up the serve and choose the serving order instead
- If the winning team chooses to serve the losing team decides who will receive the serve

Basically the winning team decides which of the two advantages they prefer.

If this is not clear I can explain it in more detail to you directly and in such simple terms that even a Rally Chimp could understand what I'm saying.

Please do not send a million emails arguing this, this email is for clarification so everyone is on the same page. The reason for this is to create an incentive to win the rally, last year we had teams intentionally throwing the rally so they could set the order."

Jance is now a finalist for the Nobel Peace Prize for Pong.
