Teqball can be played by two players (singles game) or by four players (doubles game).
A Teqball match consists of best-of-three sets, which is played on a curved table.

Every player/team is allowed to return the ball with a maximum of 3 touches by any body part, except for the hands and arms.
In doubles, a team has a maximum of 3 touches, however, the teammates must pass the ball at least once to each other.
While playing, neither the table nor the opponent can be touched.

The Teqball court measures a minimum of 12*16 meters. The sport can be played either outdoors or indoors.
Two attempts are given for accurate service. Change of service occurs after every four points.
Players are not allowed to return the ball past the halfway line. However, they can play it back to their teammate or themselves from any position on the court within the same number of touches allowed.
