Rule numbers over time

How the numbers in the rules changed: the size of the court, the ball, the points needed to win a game and how many short serves lose the serve. Each small chart is one number, with one line for each code.

How to read the charts

1022 values, read from the rulebooks by a program. Rows marked machine-reviewed were also checked by a second program, and overridden rows were changed from the program's first reading. None has been checked line by line by a person yet. Numbers from rulebooks whose text we may not show have no rule link.

The tables show every value. The family tree of the rulebooks is at Rulebooks.
