This flowchart outlines the rules and scoring for a game of singles ping pong. It shows the serve process and determines whether a serve is valid based on factors like height and landing location. It then illustrates a rally between players, tracking points scored on valid returns that land in the opponent's court. The game and match are won by the first player to reach 11 points or have a 2 point lead.
