Basic setup

The proper setup requires a palm to palm grip with your thumb knuckle showing. Your gripped hands must be level over the center of the table and your wrists must be straight. The rules state your shoulders must be square to the table, your free hand must grip the hand peg and your free arm may or may not touch the table. You can wrap your leg around the leg of the table or brace it against the opposite leg as long as it doesnt interfere with your opponent. You have one minute to grip up and if you cant, a tournament referee will set your hands.
