A DreamBreaker is a game to 21 (win by 2) with Rally scoring. There will be a freeze which means you can only win the game on your serve. Each team must rotate it's 4 players in a designated order for 4 single rallies. Players serve from the left or right side depending on their teams score (even score, serve from right side, etc.) Each player plays 4 rallies, then the next player plays 4 rallies and continue in this order until one team wins the game. That means, after all of the players have played their 4 rally's, the order of players continues until game is complete.
