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.
- If a player attempts a winner before the fifth shot, that player automatically loses the point.
- Exception: if the opponent makes an unforced error before the fifth shot, the point is won normally.
- 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.
- Add the bonus points to the final score to separate the players if necessary.
