Polybat is a cross between table tennis and air hockey. It is played on a typical table tennis table but with the net removed, and with two side panels to contain the movements of the ball.

The game is played:

• either as a singles or doubles game
• with an adapted bat and ball

The scoring works as follows:

• the aim is to be the first player to score 11 points
• points are scored by hitting the ball successfully off the table at your opponent's end
• points are also awarded to the other team if a player hits the ball and it leaves the surface of the table
