Do you feel like playing for points but you don’t have a Bailongball field nearby? Compete Mini is an easy to play variation of Bailongball. All you need is a partner, a little space, 2 rackets and a ball.
This is how you score: When your opponent…
- …does not reach your ball or cannot return your ball
- …returns the ball outside your field (demarcation lines are not considered out)
- …does not play the ball in a circular movement
- …stalls while playing the ball
- …stops in the circular movement while playing the ball to change the ball’s direction
- …stands on the demarcation line or stands outside the field while playing the ball
- …plays the ball in a way, that it leaves the racket in a horizontal or descending trajectory
This is how you keep score: Score highest in a game
- You serve the ball by swinging it to your opponent’s field
- Only one player serves during a game
- After every game, the other player is to serve
- Score is kept in steps of 10
- You win a game when scoring 40 points if you lead by at least 20 points (i.e. 40:10 or 40:20)
- If you lead 40:30, you keep playing until one of you leads by 20 points (i.e. 80:60 or 90:70)
- If the score is 90:90, the player scoring the next point, wins the game (i.e. 100:90)
This is how you win: Win the most games and, therefore, the match
- You win the match when scoring 8 games if you lead lead by at least 2 games (i.e. 8:6, etc.)
- If the the score is 7:7, you keep playing until one of you leads by 2 games (i.e. 9:7)
- If the score is 9:9, the player scoring the next game, wins the match (i.e. 10:9)
This is how you prepare your court:
- Mark out the play area:
- You can use masking tape for demarcations on plane (and clean) hard top courts or you can line the fields with rope / mark the corners with stones for grass or gravel surfaces.
- Avoid tripping by choosing plane areas with no obstacles
That is all ? You do not need a net and no other equipment! You score, now!

Eine super Idee, um einfach Mal in Schwung zu kommen mit einem kleinen Wettkampf Gedanken.

Cool – great idea! ??
Some of our players say 8 sets is too much….maybe better counting like tennis, it makes the games a bit shorter…?
Sorry for the late reply. Well Tennis is actually longer. There you need to win at least 12 games in 2 sets (6:0 and 6:0) to win a match. With Compete Mini we don’t have sets. So, if you score 8:0 you win. If on he other hand it’s a tight match, then in Tennis you may end up with 39 games (7:6, 6:7 and 7:6). With Compete Mini it’s a max of 19 games (10:9). Also, with Tennis nearly every game can drag on over a gazillion deuces. In Compete Mini every games is capped at 10:9.
Ha! We were not that good at the tennis rules i see….. 😉
Why can some of us read the text in english, and others only german?
You should be able to switch languages in the upper right corner of the page to English. After that, the URL should include „/en“, like in „bailongball.com/en“. Without */en“ language defaults to German.
all right…we were watching on de smartphones….is that the same?
I see what you’re saying, now – thanks. Looks like something we have to fix. I’ll check into it – back with more.
Looks like we found a bug. Added the language selection at the bottom of each screen. Should work with smartphones now, as well.
great!
Made another adjustment: switched the language selection to the top of the screen for mobile devices, just like it was the case for Desktop devices. More consistent that way and handy upon opening the site.
