Basic Dingles Setup:
Four players total (two teams of two)
Two parallel players (same deuce/ad side) feed simultaneously
Each feeds diagonally to the opponent without a ball

Whichever rally finishes first calls "Dingles!"
The other ball becomes live for full court play
To score a point: The team that won their diagonal rally must also win the immediate full-court point
Match Format:
Total time: 50 minutes (5 minutes warm-up + 45 minutes play + 5 minutes court cleaning)
Sets: First to 10 points per set (win by 2 points)
As many sets as possible within the 45-minute play time
Winner: Team that wins the most sets
Tie: If teams win equal sets, the match is a draw (see 4.4)
