3.9 End of the match

A match consists of a certain number of cannons (distance of the game) which must be effected. This number varies according to the kind of game and is determined by the committee.
Each started match must be played up to the last point. A match is finished as soon as the referee announces "good" the last point even if one states after the stroke, that the player did not effect the number of required points.
The committee determines whether the matches are played with or without an even number of innings.
If the match is played with an even number of innings the opponent will have the right to level with the number of innings by placing on the spots the balls which are placed at the initial starting position as soon as the last point of the match will have been effected by the player who has one additional inning than his opponent. If the number of points, the limit of the match, is also reached by the second player it is a match which ended in a draw.
In the case of a match with sets the following regulations are also applicable:
1. As soon as one of the players has reached the determined number of points the set is finished and he is the winner. If it is the player having executed the starting stroke who finishes his opponent will not play the inning.
2. As soon as one of the players has reached the necessary number of sets he is the winner of the match and it is immediately interrupted.
