Q: The Expedite system takes place when the score reaches 10 to 10 right?

I'm also confused about the rule that states: If the expedite system is introduced, or if a game lasts longer than 10 minutes, all subsequent games of the match shall be played under the expedite system.

A: The answer to your first part of your question is no. The expedite system is introduced when a game lasts 10 minutes, or at any time when both players or teams request it, unless both players (teams) scored 9 points, in which case the expedite is introduced in the subsequent game and lasts until the end of the match.

If both players score 9 points and the game had lasted 10 minutes, the play is not interrupted. This game is played as any other game without the expedite system.
