I.7.5. Questions
1. When was the first official Turul World Championship, and who represented Hungary?
(Answer: The first official Turul World Championship was organised in Venice in 1990. The only Hungarian competitor was Attila Csorba, a teacher from Szeged, who won the competition, and became world champion in adult men’s singles.)
2. What is individual grip?
(Answer: It is also possible to adjust the racket to our individual grip style. One such grip is when the player puts the racket between the index and middle fingers to give it more stability. This grip might be favoured by children and women, but its disadvantage is that the backhand side becomes insecure and easy to attack. This grip is recommended to beginners and players with small hands.)
3. How are points counted?
(Answer: The player who reaches 6 points wins the set, but the difference must be 2 points. This means that at 5-5, one player has to reach 7-5 to win. One game consists of 2 (for women) or 3 (for men and doubles) won sets. The player who lost the previous set shall start the next one.)
