Your goal
Reach eleven points with a two-point lead. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Step by step
- Serve.
- Move the lower paddle under the ball.
- Hit after the bounce near your baseline.
- A missed return gives a point.
Controls
Pointer/paddle buttons; Hit / return; Space serves or hits. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A useful example
An early hit is rejected; wait while positioning the paddle. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
The ball-flight model is timing-based, not full tournament physics. Check the rule before repeating the action. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
