It’s GetActive! Playtime, and you want to try your hand at the Street Games. You see a familiar game but with a different name, TTX!  Don't let the name daunt you. No fret, we’re here to show you how to play TTX so that you can turn the tables like a pro! 

What is TTX?

Table Tennis X, more commonly known by its acronym of TTX, plays similarly to the traditional sport. However, there are several differences between the two games that affect players' strategies, gameplay and technique.

Time-Based Sets

TTX is time-based. An individual set lasts for 2 minutes - no minimum or maximum points whatsoever per set. YOU decide whether it is a blitzkrieg or a narrow victory with your impeccable ball control. Play however long you want to!

Free Servings

Not that kind of free serving! Serve it your way, as long the ball touches your side of the table once (and only once) before going over the net.

Scoring with STYLE

Score a point when your opponent serves incorrectly or fails to return your ball. And to make it even more fun, score extra points with:

• WILDCARD
  Each player has one chance per set to shout 'wildcard' before a serve. If they win the subsequent play, they score 2 points instead of 1.

• WINNER
  If a player returns or serves a ball the opponent doesn't touch at all, they score 2 points instead of 1.
  
  
• WILDCARD X WINNER
  If a player scores a winner on the wildcard ball, they win 4 points!
