The ball may not bounce more than once before hitting it. A game is scored 15, 30, 40 and then game. If you and your opponent are tied at 40, this is called Deuce. At deuce, the first player to win two points in a row wins the game. When you win your first point at deuce, you have an advantage. That means you only have to win one more point to win the game. The first player to win six games wins the set. If the set is tied at six, you play a tie-breaker seventh game. In the tie-breaker game, the first player to reach seven points and lead by two points wins. A match can consist of 1, 3 or 5 sets. Service starts with Player 1. Each player alternates in serving games. The serve is done diagonally across thecourt. You have to chances to serve the ball into the opponent's service area. If the first serve is not good because if hit the bet or outside the service area, you can try one more time. If the second service fails, you have made a double fault - the opponent gets the point. Hitting the net but still reaching the opponent's service area lets you retake this service without a penalty. It is to prevent an unfair advantage for the server. The court has small stripes at the side. They are different in single and double games. In doubles the area is larger to allow for more space. The end line is always the same and the ball cannot land behind it. =============================================================================== Credits ******* This is my guide, but I did not make the game.
