With three players, two players occupy either side of one end of the table.  The third player must occupy the other two courts.  The player with two courts always has the serve and also the opportunity to score.  The service moves to the player who causes the current server to foul.

Game 4: THREE PLAYERS

• Server occupies two adjacent courts separated by the WHITE bumper. Other two players occupy the remaining courts opposite the GRAY bumpers.
• The server may play the ball to either opponent’s court or to his own vacant court, then on to another court.
• Only the server may earn points by causing either of his opponents to foul.
• When either opponent of the server causes the server to foul, that player trades place with the server and becomes the new server.
• Opponents to the server may play the ball to each other’s court or either of the server’s two courts.
• One opponent causing the other opponent to foul results in no consequence. No point is awarded to any player in this case.
• Winner is determined by any player achieving a predetermined score i.e. 7, 15, 21 etc.
