- Deuce: at 40-40, a player must win two points in a row. The next point gives advantage; win the one after and it's game.
- No-ad scoring: at 40-40 the next point decides the game. Our arcade matches use no-ad.
Sets and matches
- A standard set is won by the first player to 6 games, 2 games clear, with a tiebreak at 6-6.
- Matches are best of three or five sets. Our arcade matches are short sets, first to 3 games.
Serving
- Serve from behind the baseline, diagonally into the opposite service box.
- The first serve goes from the right side (the deuce court), then alternates sides each point.
- Miss the box and it's a fault. You get a second serve, but two faults (a double fault) lose the point.
- A serve that clips the net and lands in the box is a let and is replayed.
- Players take turns serving a whole game each.
Winning a point
You win the point if your opponent hits the ball into the net or out, or can't return it before it bounces twice. A ball that touches any part of the line is in.
