Racketlon Tournament Rules and Format Games played to 21 points. (2 clear points) 1 game of all 4 sports. Table tennis – badminton – squash – tennis 2 minute warm up on each sport. Must be ready to play next sport after finishing no breaks between sports. You play your opponent in each of the four racket-sports, in the order of table tennis, badminton, squash and tennis. In each sport, the same scoring rules apply: In each sport, one set to 21 points is played. Every rally results in a point to the winner of the rally (PARS). The winner of a set needs a margin of at least two points (21-20 is not possible). After every two points, the serve goes to the other player (at the score of 20-20 or above, the serve changes every single point). In tennis, the server has two changes - first and second service - just as in normal tennis.All other aspects of the game are regulated by the rules of the individual sports. The winner of a racketlon match is not the one that wins most sets but the one that scores the most points in total over the 4 sets. If, after 4 sets, both players have exactly the same number of points, the final tennis is extended with one single point which decides who wins the match. The winner of the last point decides who will serve, and there is no second service in the single point The initial order of serving, receiving and ends in each of the four sets shall be decided by one single toss before the match starts, according to the following procedure: The winner of the toss decides whether to start serving or receiving in table tennis. The player, who starts serving in table tennis, starts receiving in badminton, starts serving in squash and starts receiving in tennis. In each set (except in squash, of course) the player who starts receiving decides what end to start the set from. Ends are switched at the time when 11 points are first reached by any of the players. All matches MUST conclude when a result is achieved and a player cannot be caught (i.e. before or during tennis or occasionally even squash) .

Magisterarbeit
MAGISTERARBEIT Titel der Magisterarbeit Darstellung und Entwicklung der Sportart Racketlon in Österreich verfasst von Christoph Krenn, Bakk.rer.nat. angestrebter akademischer Grad Magister der Naturwissenschaften (Mag.rer.nat.) Wien, im November 2015 Studienkennzahl lt. Studienblatt: A 066 826 Studienrichtung lt. Studienblatt: Magisterstudium Sportwissenschaft Betreut von: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Otmar Weiß Abstract Die vorliegende Magisterarbeit befasst sich mit der Darstellung und Entwicklung der Sportart Racketlon in Österreich. Seit der Gründung des Verbandes im Jahr 2004 bis zum heutigen Zeitpunkt, ist der Verband auf 34 Mitgliedsverein in allen Bundesländern angewachsen. Im Racketlon spielt man gegen eine Gegnerin oder einen Gegner die Sportarten Tischtennis, Badminton, Squash und Tennis. Nach einer kurzen Einleitung über die Regeln der vier Sportarten wird auf den Racketlon- Verband eingegangen und anhand verschiedener Statistiken zu Vereinsgründungen, Anzahl von Turnieren oder Teilnehmerzahlen die Entwicklung von Racketlon in Österreich dargestellt. Im empirischen Teil wird das sportliche und soziodemografische Profil eines Racketlonspielers untersucht. Durch die Auswertung von 193 ausgefüllten Fragebögen einer Online-Umfrage konnten viele Daten über die österreichischen Spielerinnen und Spieler gewonnen werden. Die Sportlerinnen und Sportler, die diesen Sport ausüben, weisen ein deutlich höheres Bildungsniveau als der österreichische Durchschnitt auf. Die Bundesländer, in denen schon länger gespielt wird, haben ein größeres Turnierangebot und mehr Aktive. Fast alle Befragten gaben an, mindestens eine der vier Sportarten hobbymäßig betrieben zu haben. Bevor mit Racketlon begonnen wurden, waren 35,4% noch in keinem Verein Mitglied. Jetzt, da sie Racketlon spielen, ist diese Zahl auf 16,6% gesunken. Keine der vier Sportarten hat Mitglieder verloren, ganz im Gegenteil: alle Teildisziplinen profitieren von Racketlon und von neu abgeschlossenen Vereinsmitgliedschaften.

Tactics on Badminton: Synergy Analysis for Racketlon
International Journal of the Physical Sciences Vol. 7(6), pp. 937 - 943, 2 February, 2012 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/IJPS DOI: 10.5897/IJPS11.699 ISSN 1992 - 1950 © 2012 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Tactics on badminton: Synergy analysis for Racketlon Jye-Shyan Wang1, Chih-Fu Cheng1 and Chen-Yuan Chen2,3,4* 1Department of Physical Education, National Taiwan Normal University, No 162, HePing East Road Section 1, Taipei 10610, Taiwan. 2Department and Graduate School of Computer Science, National Pingtung University of Education, No. 4-18, Ming Shen Rd., Pingtung 90003, Taiwan. 3Department of Information Management, National Kaohsiung First University of Science and Technology, 2 Jhuoyue Rd. Nanzih, Kaohsiung 811, Taiwan. 4Global Earth Observation and Data Analysis Center, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan 701, Taiwan. Accepted 23 January, 2012 This study aims to analyze sports in Racketlon events. Racketlon involves table tennis, badminton, squash and tennis. According to the documentation, it is found that, except for squash, all the other Racketlon sports are played with a net and are about challenging opponents. Therefore, attention should be paid to servers to obtain information and process it in order to respond to balls served. In addition, the learning migration theory should be applied to these 4 sports with rackets/paddles to find out their common grounds, to practice unique skills, train lower limbs, increase explosive force and improve the ability to handle pressure through sports psychology skill training methods. This way, Taiwan may have a chance to shine in Racketlon events. Key words: Racketlon, learning migration, information process.

Volume 2, Issue 1
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RACKET SPORTS SCIENCE VOLUME 2 Ê ISSUE 1 June, 2020 It is a privilege to be given the opportunity to introduce the first issue of Volume 2. A second volume of the Journal necessarily implies some success, as it represents a continuation of academic endeavour associated with racket sports. It is therefore also an opportunity to reflect on the progress of the Journal so far. The first volume contained papers that covered a range of sports science topics applied to racket sports. This, combined with the high academic standard of these papers is evidence that the Journal is meeting its ultimate goal which is … to create a platform for collaboration and cooperation among researchers, where sport scientist can come together and join forces to come up with new perspectives from where to keep expanding the knowledge involving all areas within the field of racket sports. (Cabello, M. D., 2019, Editorial) It has done this by adopting a rigorous editorial and review process. The high standard of submissions has been achieved by a process which involves initial screening, blind review by two or more experts in the field, amendment of the manuscript by the authors as guided by an associate editor, and finally editorial corrections to ensure consistency in production and use of language. The Editorial Board are proud that they are also able to provide guidance and support to papers that have an important message to convey, but lack some aspect of presentation that would hinder their progress through this demanding process. Of course, the editorial process could not have been developed without the commitment and support of a number of people and grateful thanks are given to all associated with it.
