The rules
King & Queen of the Court
- 1
King & Queen of the Court is played with 5 teams. Two teams start on the court and the other teams wait on the challenger side to serve.
- 2
The court has a kingside and a challengers side. Starting positions are determined by drawing cards — the queen starts on queenside and the rest go in the order of the draw.
- 3
Each rally begins with a serve from the challengers side. Any player from the team can serve.
- 4
If the challengers side wins the rally, they move to the kingside, and the other team leaves the court, waiting for their turn to serve again.
- 5
If the kingside wins the rally, they stay on the queenside and earn 1 point. Only the king/queen side can score points.
- 6
A team on the challengers side making a serve mistake is out and goes to the back of the line. The king/queen side does not gain a point.
- 7
There must be a maximum of 8 seconds between rallies — keep the pace up and the queue moving.
