399 – Game: Crosscourt Duel

October 1, 2026

This tennis game develops consistency and depth in a match-like situation. It requires players to construct the rally before trying to win the point, all within a format featuring several different opponents. The objective is to build the rally with patience and depth.

How to Run the Game:

  • Four players play singles matches on two courts.
  • Each match is played as a 7-point tiebreak.
  • At the end of the tiebreak, rotate players across the two courts so that everyone faces a new opponent.

Rules:

  • The point can only be won after the rally has been constructed.

  • Any ball that bounces in the deep target area defined before the session earns 1 bonus point.
  • This bonus point is kept even if the player ultimately loses the point.
  • A winner hit after a rally of at least six shots earns 2 bonus points.
  • The tiebreak is played to the usual 7 points.
