1) Amendment XIX: Rack Pang. The rack gets placed on the surface on the rare occasion that the score reaches 15-15.
2) Amendment XV: Stricter penalties for smashes. Each smash (not on a serve) results in a penalty that increases in severity. First offense = warning or LOP, depending on severity. Second offense = LOP. Third offense = LOG.
3) Amendment XXV: A smash on a serve is an offense punishable on Amendment XV.
Out of these three amendments, the first two were reinstated after a revote. We still await a decision on the third.
Next, we have some new amendments.

The following plays are considered sacrilegious to Pang, and will result in a Triple LOP for the culprit, and cannot result in a LOG by the victim. Note: A Triple LOP is a gain of three points for the non-culprit.

2) Rainy day to the face.
3) Moving the Big LOG on purpose.
4) Calling Pang the devil name of Pong.
